I'm from Louisville, Kentucky and every year we have The Kentucky Derby where people celebrate horse racing and makes it a two week event. I feel so bad for the horses and many of them don't live very long.

I don't understand the people who gather to watch it but don't bust out the crazy hats and mint juleps, like what even is the point unless you're drunk and looking like a fool?

I like to drink and go to cookouts but have never gone to the track. Fist fights have been happening at the actual Derby

I'm in New England and have been to a thing where everyone sat around watching and was bored out of my mind.

I can't believe these people are shouting world star - lol.

my aunt wants to hold a kentucky derby watch party this year and that's precisely what she's said we're going to do.
