Great job! Darn, she beat me by 5 years. I memorized the Derby winners at 17, more than 30 years ago. I was reciting them along with her. One of the highlights of every year is adding the new name, shortly after the Derby.
I've put that on display many times. My favorite was in the Kentucky Derby Museum in'82, back to the silks. A small crowd gathered.
The key is remembering the first one in each decade. Like if someone asks 1912, I immediately default to Donau, then think Meridian and > Worth
I have never watched the Kentucky Derby before but will after that! I was impressed that this young person knew so much about the race and had memorized all the winners. Very informative video! Honestly, I understand the Kentucky Derby better after seeing this 5-minute video then I did after watching a two-hour History Channel DVD last night about the history of Horse Racing! "Pyro" is favored to win at 6-1 but what about betting on the only filly in Saturday's 2008 Derby "Eight Belles" at 20-1?
Since your into horse racing, can you give me a few tips haha?
