Friday Post Parade: Follow Me Back To Louisville

Opening Night '11.  Photo: Dan Dry

Folks we are painfully close Derby.  That's awesome. 

• We are $30 away from our donation goal.  Let's make it happen.  Steadied At The Start gave generously this week.  Thank you.  
• ULhothot still holds a nice lead over the field in our league.  Dude's a rookie.  My guess is he'll be playing again next year.  
• I plan on continuing to post random things about Derby, Kentucky, Louisville, etc. from here on out.
• Love that Churchill Downs will again have Opening Night and the Derby Trial under the lights.  Looks like a hell of a time.  

 This song will get us going for Derby Week.  Good luck this weekend.
