The Day started at 6:30AM, I Woke up ate breakfast, got all of the camera's ready, and off to Churchill Downs! I arrived at 8:15AM. I was all ready for Derby day. I walked around the backside for a little while, then I went to the frontside with Jose thru the infield before the Party begun.
I was in the president lounge again with my crew, I went down to the rail to take pictures of Irish You Well.
After watching Irish You Well, I just stayed on the rail waiting for Cat Burglar's race. After he went thru the tunnel to the Paddock, I walked to above the paddock, then I went back down to the rail for the race. He ended up finishing 3rd.
After watching him, I went back to my room to eat some more food.
After eating some food. I noticed it was time to go in the paddock for the Pat Day Mile!
My love, Gimme Da Lute was racing. Walked into the paddock and I was so happy to be in there with my team. I was ready to cheer on my baby boy, He looked amazing in the paddock.
After talking to Mike Pegram, and his wife, and everyone, He walked around a couple of time's and then it was time to head to the Rail! I was so excited and nervous at the same time, I was standing on the rail and my leg's and hands started to shake, But I was so excited to see my boy race in person. Down the stretch Completive Edge took the lead, Gimme Da Lute finished 3rd, Over his stablemate Lord Nelson who finished 4th. I was still beyond proud of him.

After walking around for a little bit, I went above the paddock to take pictures of the Woodford Turf Reserve.
The winner was Finnegan's Wake
My pick was Seek Again.
We had 2 hours before the main race of the day.
Went to my room, ate some cake then I went to go take pictures.

Leaving Churchill I was walking with my crew to the gift shop and going down the stairs from above the paddock, Rafeal Bejaraono walks past us, and I asked for a pair of his goggles, and He gave me a pair : )
Shopping for a little bit and waiting in line to pay for the stuff I bought
We worked our way to the backside, My friend and I started singing Black And Yellow and everyone was watching us and and we just started to laugh so hard.
We arrived at my friends house and we ordered pizza around 11:40PM and it didn't arrive until 12AM.
After eating pizza around 12:30AM, I went to bed to get ready to head home.
And go back to Churchill downs to love on horses! : ).
I'm already counting down the days until Derby 142!
