counting down...

Less than two hours until the Derby is run. We have been getting updated odds every hour, and Street Sense remains the favorite at 5-1. Race 9 (in about 35 minutes) features Better Talk Now, who is running for the first time this year after finishing second in the Breeders' Cup Turf.

I hear the Queen has arrived. A few minutes later, the crowd of photographers on the track turned around and began snapping shots of the grandstand while spectators ooohed and aaahed. I wonder who her Derby horse is...
