Happy would be Kentucky Derby Day! Although a little sad, I'm still excited for this awesome card at Oaklawn & for the virtual Derby showdown. #KyDerbyAtHome

I should be wishing you all a happy Kentucky Derby Day, which is one of my favorite days of the year. Instead the f-ing stupid virus has ruined that too.

The Kentucky Derby was never about horse racing where I’m from. Many of us couldn’t afford to go, and it never seemed like a place where we belonged.
Instead, the Derby was a time when the family would come together. Good food, music, fellowship, love.
That’s what I miss today.

prevnextAnd today should have been my favorite day of the year. The craziness of Derby. Running back and forth to the media room from the finish line, getting soaking wet from the rain, trying to hard to get my photos turned in. Until September, happy Derby Day 🌹 🏇🏼 pic.twitter.com/XxjcRqQBoT

prevnextThe Derby and The English Derby (Daaaarbeee) not being run is the saddest thing of all of this for me. I hoped for the horse racing industry both races are able to be run

Happy Derby Day!
It stinks we have beautiful weather for the first time in years and no race.
Always one of my favorite days of the year for the pride it brings for State of Kentucky and our nationwide spotlight.
And Rodman Street is always insanely fun with the best food
