BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Yes, he is partial owner of Shared Belief, who is the favorite in the Classic. I'm a big horse racing fan and I actually had Shared Belief rated higher than Cal Chrome heading into the Derby. Unfortunately SB was injured and not able to run in it. He is back healthy now though and is still unbeaten. Pretty solid field for this weekend, should be a great race.
What was his injury?
I think I remember that story line from Derby time. Breeders Cup was here in Louisville a few years back and I think I remember someone explaining to me how tough a betting day it was. Too many good horses. But again, I'm not really in to the ponies.
You should have went and watched, you would have been hooked! My gf and I went down for Derby this year, it is such a fun and memorable event. And I'm by no means a horse racing expert, just a little more than the average casual fan.
This year was my first time at Churchill so I didn't have much to compare it to. Overall I had a great time. We had seats on the fence at the beginning of the final straight away, so we had a great view of the start and the final turn. I will say that there wasn't a whole lot to interest us outside of the races, but the combination of them and the amazing weather this year made for a great day. We did all of the the standard first time there stuff, picture w the Barbaro statue, pics of the Churchill Downs sign, Mint Juleps, and I took my first Bolivar Belicoso Finos down w me. Might just be my favorite day of 2014 thus far.
