In the latest Derby disaster, the favorite, Forte has been scratched.

Fifth scratch of the week not counting the horse they had to shoot
Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.

My grand pappy had a saying:

"Dead horses don't win"

I'll never forget that.

Unbelievable it has been that long. I was only 9  years old but I remember the excitement surrounding Secretariat and the excitement each race provided. My parents loved the horses, especially the Derby, and it is a wonderful memory for me.

I've been to 5 Kentucky Derbys, the last in 1989. Your daughter is presumably on the Infield, which at her age, is where all the fun is. If on the Infield, she will likely go all day without even seeing a horse ( except on the hundreds of TVs that are out there). Great to be young.

Five horses scratched, including the favorite, and 7 horses dead at Churchill Downs in recent days.

What a sh!tshow.
