Remember Derby Bob? He died today. Godspeed Bob Weihe. Thank you to everyone who helped us make his final wish come true:

Ted Turner's favorite movie was GONE WITH THE WIND ('39).
He loved the movie so much that he bought the entire catalogue of movies from MGM Studios and pre-1948 Warner Bros. so he could air and preserve them.
We honor our founder by airing the film tomorrow night at 8pm ET.
@WelbourneStud I thought it was so cool that her race day outfit matched the owners’ silks. Who does this?! Someone with class and appreciation and respect for their owners.
@atTheTrack7@goofonroof@MarkZinno Parasite. Glomming onto something to create controversy where none exists to magnify their own self importance. Who listens to this dude?
@Tinky47flat Just because someone can, doesn’t make it right. I’ve reduced my horse playing significantly. Just Derby and BC. No fun seeing my 15-1 pounded to 3-1. Like driftnets, they’ll take everything until there is no more to take.
@BerniceKing My dad used to fly Spirit all the time. Then he passed away. The gate agent at his airport noticed my dad’s absence. He found an email address for us, asked if dad was ok. When he learned the news, he mentioned how much he appreciated my dad. Class.

Here is a sequence of images from @_RYUSEI_0531 bowing to the @ChurchillDowns Crowd.
It was funny the TV Crew was yelling at him to hurry up and bring the horse back, not knowing the traditional respect the Japanese jockeys show the crowd and fans.
We still have much to learn. We need to do a better job of presenting the horses to the fans. #テーオーエルビス
I did Ok with the Derby Oaks this year. I really appreciated the @DRFFormulator and @DRFWelsch Reports. Very helpful and useful- I may even get back into Handicapping again.
Did some KY DY future wagers on @1stbet. Yikes-they aren't set up for it. I'll stick with @TwinSpires from now on for all Derby wagers. Twinspires already settled. I can't even find my bets on 1stbet. What a mess!!!!
@JayHovdey takeaway is-- in the walk of her life, she is acknowledging the work of Donna Brothers. Very gracious. Classy Donna. IYKYK- Julie is a legend. The general public doesn't notice a whole lot, as we know in today's world. Here's to Julie & Donna for their tenacity.
