I don't get why you Americans are so thrilled by this. Gambling is stupid, horses are stupid, but worst of all, Kentucky is an inbred shithole!

ehh, just because people pay millions of dollars to "own" a horse doesn't make it high class. People pay millions to own sports teams too

Kentucky is an inbred shithole, but the kentucky derby is a place where a bunch of rich famous people who aren't from kentucky go. so kentucky really has nothing to do with it.

And yes i would agree with you about gambling and horse racing being incredibly boring and stupid.

Everyone saying that the Kentucky derby is high class should watch the video. It's pretty much equal to nascar when you boil it down.

Bet $100 to win on Bodemeister. The trainer of Bodemeister named his son Bode after Bode Miller.

except nascar doesnt have a grandstand that looks like this:
Click for larger image

people who want to argue that its not a high class event are simply wrong. there is very little room for discussion. church hill downs is like a palace, the amount of money won and loss in in the hundreds of millions, and some of the wealthiest people in the world pay huge amounts of money for track side suits. race tracks are very similar to casinos in that they attract a group of people interested only in blowing their money and getting drunk, which is why there is the option of cheaper infield tickets. however, like any gaming resort, that group of people doesnt really represent the true culture of the event.

sure, the infield is gonna be a slop show, but if you look at the people who are actually in the grandstand, it is ridiculously classy. the net worth of each of those people is probably more than the net worth of most african countries
