The archaic Churchill Downs still amazes me with the standard of its facilities - the fact that everyone in the infield (100k plus) enters the area through a 18ft wide tunnel under the track had me speechless - serious accident waiting to happen, but the whole event itself really has to be experienced.
I even managed to be interviewed by a few newspapers and TV stations when I went for a walk round the paddock with a union jack tied round my shoulders which was a good laugh
like a tru brit eh!! The union jack on ur shoulders, cut off jeans and white sports socks to ur knees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sport socks to the knees funny I've never seen it on younger men, I've noticed it tends to be the old boy network I mean over 80.

I want to see the YouTube clips of Davy talking on telly.

A local town had a "Wine on the Fox" festival last Saturday. The Fox is our local river, and it was in a park right next to the river. 3 bands played, but we made a mad dash for it before Shirley King played (have seen her before, daughter of BB, and she's bloody awful! ) and before we heard even more wine glasses smash on the concrete paths. Daughter had a blast, though, as there were a ton of kids around, and all on the playground there, which was great! Got to sample 10 wines *hic!* and bought half a case to bring home. Now that's my kind of festival!

I went last year when Barbaro won.
Not that I saw a f**king horse all afternoon.
Completely bladdered and a great time.
