Any other native Kentuckians on here? Missing the tradition of the Derby - what is your favorite tradition?

Yeah, I'm missing the hype for sure. My Dad told me last Friday that it's currently rescheduled for September, which is bizarre as hell. I think the only other time it was rescheduled was towards the end of WWII.

I miss the call to the post and of course the playing of "My Old Kentucky Home". A lot of other great traditions also

Yep, I hear ya. I did the infield a couple of times in my younger day, and quickly got tired of it. You can't see squat unless you get there really early and get a sop on the rail.

Much preferred going to regular
