My Annual KY Derby Post

This weekend the sporting world casts it's eye on one of America's longest running traditions. The Kentucky Derby. Year 133 and counting. What makes THE DERBY so special is classic southern hospitality at it's finest... and mint juleps.

Louisvillian Larry Birkhead and daughter Dannielynn are back home for the event. Larry met Anna Nicole Smith at the Barnstable-Brown derby party several years ago.

Bill O'Reilly
Raquel Welch
Kid Rock
Peyton Manning
Tom Brady
Kevin Federline
Emily Robison (Dixie Chicks)
Jenny McCarthy
Michael McDonald
Uncle Kracker
Bobby Flay
Gene Simmons
Shannon Tweed
Jewel
Cybill Shepherd
Travis Tritt
Jimmy Fallon
Mary Wilson

Whew!... Maybe I'll be able to finally get Mr. O'Reilly's autograph without getting arrested. Just kidding.

And oh yeah, the horses... Here are the post positions

Ah, makes me want to put on my all-white Colonel Sanders' southern-gentleman suit. But, I'll probably just grab a mint julep instead... Or two or three.
