Today is the annual Run for the Roses ... The Kentucky Derby, known as he most exciting two minutes in sports ...
I'm terribly unsuccessful betting on horse races but go primarily because it's one of the few venues left where cigar smoking isn't a problem and because it CAN be exciting at times ... this year, there is no clear favorite
Were I to bet on the race, I'd go for McCraken or Irish War Cry ... yeah, I know, hedging my bet by picking two, but you can bet 'em both at the track ...
