Fastest 2 minutes in Sports.
First leg of the Triple Crown.
Back in grade school I did a report all about the Triple Crown, Kentucky Derby... the Sport of Kings, Horse Racing. Wish I could find that report.
I love everything about it. Mostly because I was horse OBSESSED as a girl and dreamed of being a jockey, owning a horse, riding in the olympics,... you name it!
So today, on the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby, I taught my girls all about the excitement of the Run for the Roses. We talked about the race, the fashion, the track, horses, what a jockey is and does... and then we ate Derby Pie with friends as we celebrated the 2:02:89 win by ORB.
Of course, they now want to go with me to the Derby. Which is NEVER happening. But I still dream of going... maybe next year? A girl can dream. :)
So happy Derby Day...
I'm just going to share the recipe I used for Derby Pie today and encourage you to make it. Its DELISH even without the nuts (as I made it).
