Am I the only one who, when watching the Kentucky Derby coverage on ESPN and hear the name "Randy Moss" look up and hope to see the football player commentating horse racing with Kenny Mayne?

The infield at the Derby is like Girls Gone Wild with fancy hats.

I'm betting on Jackson Bend, one of 10 horses in the Derby with connections to Ocala, Fl.
http://www.ocala.com/article/20100501/ARTICLES/5011020/1402/NEWS?p=1&tc=pg

Winners of the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and Breeders’ Cups have been raised, trained and sold right here, as Marion County is one of only four major thoroughbred centers in the world. Ocala’s 600 thoroughbred farms have produced 45 national champions, 6 Kentucky Derby winners, 20 Breeders’ Cup champions and 6 Horses of the Year.

Just got back to the hotel. We ended up getting front row tickets (haven't seen it on TV, but if you see a dude in a luchador mask - that's me). I also picked the winner (had him for Win and Show) and collected on the Show for Paddy O'Prado(or a...whatever).

Good day and weekend, rain or shine.
