Couple of interesting things today, one is a female

jockey (although she is riding a long shot!) who won

$12 million in purses in 2012. Her name is Rosie Naprovnik,

watch for her1

And the other:

2013 Kentucky Derby - Duckworth: Normandy Invasion's unique connections - ESPN

I like Revolutionary so far & I think Calvin Borel is a great jockey, he'll go down in history like Shoemaker.

It should be live for England around 11.30 tonight. A racing pal has set up a stream for me to watch It live.

Seems the English racing world is talking a lot about the female jockey tonight and rate her very highly.

It's Derby Day!!

Well I'm glad that if Rosie didn't win, at least Shug McGaughey (trainer)

did. Old guy was a little choked up, and rightfully so, after his first

ever Derby win!
