kentucky derby

[Cheering472]

You know the song that always gets me is "Run for the Roses" by Dan Fogelberg.

In the past when the Derby finally begins and they play that song you wouldn't want me to sing. Drinking and singing...bad!!!

I can't watch it. I am so afraid the horses are going to fall and hurt themselves and the jockey's. I was watching one year and this happened, it tore me up to see those horses and jockey's hit the ground. I haven't been able to watch since!

The official drink of the Kentucky Oaks- The Lilly (new this year- and sounds way tastier than a mint julep!)

Add to a shaker of ice-

1 part Finlandia vodka(Brown Forman shared the recipe on the noon news)
1 part sweet and sour mix
1 part cranberry juice
splash triple sec

shake and pout over ice

It wasn't shown garnished, but I think a piece of fresh lime and maybe a mint sprig would be lovely.

Also, it is very pink (Hey Seagrover!)- supposed to be the pink that is in the Stargazer lillies that make up the lilly blanket for the winning filly!

Would another vodka work?

What about Keyed Entry? There is a whole thread here about keyed entries v. combination.
Actually, Audie, I like Sinister Minister also, no particular reason, except the name.

i thought of the priest who are pedophiles when i saw that name, and for some reason it struck me as a ballsy name - i like it - it has grit !

and i bob baffert's white hair.

Sharp Humor- since their are so many sharp wits in this group


Storm Treasure- pretty appropriate for the SoWal area


I need to sit down and study the entries- but I will wait until Saturday morning to see who weenies out.

Nothing Tastier than a proper Makers Mark Mint Julep, served in a silver julep cup...
