Well, the media describe the Kentucky Derby as "The
most famous two minutes in sports", and of COURSE the city
promotes Churchill Downs as the most famous racetrack in
the world. So how could I help believing all that hype I've heard and seen all my life???

ing the second time: Max, it occurs to me that you are entirely too intelligent for my good! But I maintain that hearing about "The Winged Horse" once a year on the day of the Pegasus parade (the Thursday before the Derby, which is the first Saturday in May) does NOT qualify as
"everyday speech"! I see alate more often than that!
