Today is Derby Day, all right--the first Saturday in May, as always. Lots of festivities have preceded this day. We've had fireworks and an air show, a steamboat race, a rat race, a hot-air balloon race, bed racing, wine racing (this is called the Run for the Rosé, a cute play on the Run for the Roses: the Kentucky Derby), and the Pegasus Parade. Plus assorted public and private dinners, breakfasts, and parties. Yesterday was the Kentucky Oaks, sort of the Derby for fillies--3-year-olds, just like the Derby. Fillies can enter the Derby, but few do. Oaks Day has become known as Louisville's Day at the Races; I guess because so many out-of-towners come in just for the Derby, we consider this a day "just for us".
