Pick Your Pony!

I firmly believe that I'll get to go to the Kentucky Derby one [fine] day. (Although I'll Debbie Downer-it right from the beginning...I'm not sure how I feel about horse racing. I think it's sort of mean.)

But, anyway...

For the last couple of years, we've each made our picks for the race. We don't really look at the odds or favorites; we just choose the horse that tickles our fancy. (Now there's a good name for a Derby contender--Tickles Your Fancy!)

W's Pick:
Pants on Fire
(After I made my selection, A said, "Hey, he has the most 'likes' on Facebook!" Figures. BUT, he's also being jockeyed by a woman! This was a great blind choice if I do say so myself.)

A's Pick:
Archarcharch
(This is much more Athens-friendly than his original pick of Mucho Macho Man. We found out he was owned by a GT grad and would be wearing gold and white. Go Dawgs!)

Our crop of mint is going crazy, so we'd be all set if we actually liked mint juleps! (Oh well -- guess we have to save it for mojitos.) Personally, I'd prefer an Oaks Lily!

Happy Derby Day!
