Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of one day visiting, of all the places on Earth, Kentucky. Since the Derby falls on my 29th birthday this year and I am attending, I have waited a long time to fulfill this dream and quite honestly, the bluegrass state is everything I hoped it would be. And more. I have never been so happy in all of my life.

Pyro, initially the Derby favorite, has 6:1 opening odds. While Jockey Shaun Bridgmohan tries to become the first black rider to win the Derby since 1902.
Not sure who this is at the 2008 Spring Meet at Churchill Downs, also on Thursday, May 1st, but I love this picture and wonder what the jockey is thinking before being led to the gate.
