A Tribute to The Kentucky Derby

Memories. Something I will always have of the many Derby Week festivities and preamble leading up to the Kentucky Derby. I gathered a few of the many, many words and phrases one would hear as they made it through the busy Derby week festivities should you live in Louisville. My love of this day lives on.
