Just made my plans for the Kentucky Derby

[Reload]

Nice buffet at Monmouth Park for the day. I’m sure Sammy would like the Mac n Cheese bar! @samsncharge99

Sounds like fun

Looks good.

Derby is one of the things my old man always wanted to do and never got the chance to attend.

Myself - I’d much rather do something like this and then bet the $$ I saved not attending in person on a regular damn race or 2.

Way too crowded - way too expensive and other than crowd watching, way too much traffic headache for a 2 minute spectacle.

One of these days I’m going to get around to hosting a derby party.

Would really like to go in person for the Derby one day. But these kinds of buffets and parties are a great time also. I went to Foxwoods in CT a few times for theirs and it’s done up well.

Monmouth has had this before and I’ve passed. But this year’s buffet lineup is a lot better than before.

Have had my share of success with it, JJ! Hard to beat the high takeout so I stay pretty selective with it. Kentucky Derby is one of those times you can get some good overlays in the odds.

my dads works there now as a clerk taking the bets

great retirement gig

Went to the Derby in 1996, was fun except so long of a wait between races that day. It's long and drawn out

Awesome man. Just awesome

It was always on my bucket list to go to one but my priorities have changed a bit now so it might be a few years if I ever go. Plus just not in to huge crowds anymore

I used to always reserve a table in the turf club on the third floor of the track about 20 minutes away on Derby, Oaks and Breeders Cup days for more than a decade.

Was a lot of fun. Nowadays I’m content to go up and make me and my buddy’s bets at 10 am and come home and watch the races.

You ever been to the derby??

A lady I used to work with and her husband went year after year to the derby and all the big races across the country. I have derby day shirts from about 5-6 years in a row.

Sometimes at work I’d tell my boss I had a project going with her and I’d go upstairs where her office was and we’d cap the races and just talk horses for an hour or more.
