Kentucky Derby

[BettyO]

There were 20 horses in the field; an extremely large one. Patch was in the number 20 slot. To me, the most unusual/funniest incident was when Thunder Snow broke at the starting bell. He came out of that gate like a bronc out of a rodeo chute; bucking and twisting. He is a horse used to racing in Europe on turf and apparently wanted no part of racing on a sloppy mud track!
