i went to lexington (kentucky) this weekend
i went to lexington this weekend for the pony races at keeneland and then on to watch the outside of the stadium at the university of kentucky while they upset south carolina (who upset alabama last week).
it was a great weekend and i wanted to share some of the flavor with the internet here.
after overserving myself friday night, i was treated to a magical cinnamon breakfast feast complete with mimosas saturday morning.
we are both named joel, but only one of us is divorced. you guess which is which. (bloody mary marks drink number 3 for the day. time is about noon)
the view of the pony show at keeneland. i bet 20 bucks and walked away with 26 bucks. "daddy please" to show in race 2 please. please.
who is that pretty pony with the pretty pink dress on. can i touch it?
toot toot tooooooot. ima blow my whistle before the ponies get in their cages so you know to pay attention to what happense next. after this is over ill be going back to the lollipop guild.
anyway, after we left the pony show we hightailed it over to the university of kentucky to tailgate and continue our drunk. we parked in a secret person's driveway and walked through the secret garden to get to the stadium. i was told that bourbon would be the weapon of the evening.
we made it! the university of kentucky high school. just kidding, it was perfectly nice. me and the hamster (pictured) mixed and spinned all around it.
after the game we ended up dancing the night away at this random hole in the strip mall bar where this guy played some songs. he was announced as a nashville recording artist (natch) and i dont remember anything about him (natch).

i also picked a pony
my pony is named homeboykris. i picked him because i liked his name the best. i also found out that former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre is a part owner of my new favorite pony. his granddaddy, and his great granddaddy are both derby winners, so that is something.the oddsmakers have homeboykris as a longshot, but i think by throwing the full weight of my support behind him that magic can happen. look for him to win.
ok i picked one!
i was perusing the post positions for the kentucky derby, which jicydak is this weekend. g.animalz is going! i knoooooooow. anyway, i've picked my pony.
his name is conveyance. and if you have any confusion about why i might've chosen this horse, refer to below clip:
here's a list of ponies. leave your pick in the comments!

jicymi.
just in case you missed it, mine that bird took first in the kentucky derby yesterday at 50-1 odds. it was the second biggest upset in derby history. the horse i picked finished 19th. that's out of 20. wink!

guess what's happening tomorrow...
the kentucky derby! this is the first leg of the triple crown, so it's important that you all become informed and start throwing your support behind horses. we've had a lot of excitement in recent years. you all might remember last year, when big brown bear completely blew it at the belmont.i dont know if any of you watched animal planet's jockeys a couple of months ago, but three of the jockeys featured are riding in the derby: joe talamo (the rising star), mike smith (time-tested veteran), and garrett gomez (the villain).
as for the horses, favorites include:
captain candyman (10-1)
freisan fire (10-1)
midshipman (12-1)
pioneer of the nile (12-1) (ridden by garrett gomez, booooo)
stardom bound (12-1)
this ones for phil (12-1)
vineyard haven (12-1)
joe talamo is on the 'morning line favorite', i want revenge with 3-1 odds.
my predictions:
i'm a big fan of joe talamo, as he is barely literate, like 12 years old, a loose cannon, and from the south. so i will be supporting him and his horse and hope they do well. however, i would never pick the actual favorite to win, because that's boring.
after reviewing the contenders, i have a great feeling about fresian fire. he's coming off a huge win at the 2009 lousiana derby. his trainer has taken second place in the past 2 kentucky derbies. so that's my pick! share yours in the comments!post time is scheduled for 6.04pm EST / 5.04pm CST, nbc is providing tv coverage. hope everyone gets to enjoy!
