It’s a beautiful day in the Bluegrass State. This morning I am one of thousands of race fans who started the day near the stables at Churchill Downs as horses prepare for an exciting week of racing at Churchill Downs. There are clear skies and full hearts. We can’t lose.
The fine folks at Churchill Downs have made each day of Derby Week a special occasion. After celebrating “502’s Day,” today is Champions Day at the racetrack, followed by Thurby, Oaks and the big one, Kentucky Derby Saturday.
A few horses have been generating some buzz among the wise guys on the backside this week, Angel of Empire and Disarm.
