I only went one time, in 2001. A crew of about 5 buddies went down. We had great weather, and a great time. I never knew anything about the Friday slate of races until we got there, but The Oaks was by far way more fun than Saturday. Local holiday, all the schools and businesses closed, relaxed security, not as big of a crowd, Cheap Trick playing in the infield, lots of titties, great day.

The next day for the Derby, one of my buddies decides to try and sneak in a bottle of vanilla rum by pouring it into a ziplock bag and carrying it in his underwear. While we are in line, it starts to leak, and his balls get marinated in rum. He claims to this day that his nutsack was numb from the alcohol bath.


And then, we all decided to try these "mint julep" things. The Derby commemorative glass was $8, and I thought it was kind of small for the price. Well, I was never a big bourbon drinker (I am now) and that first sip was the strongest thing I ever tasted. But, hey, these things get kind of sweet as you get closer to the bottom! Had a few. Got fucking ripped. Good times.

Been several times. Best time was in the infield guessing 1989/90. Poured 2 5ths of vodka over ice in a white foam cooler. Had a few cokes on top with lunch meat. Another group got the punch in. Drank hooch all day in he rain.

no good or best stories, but 1 bad story about the Kentucky Derby. Back in 01 I had just got into offshore sportsbooks..Another friend and fellow poster here had found some good future odds on Monarchos ( 30/1 ) that year and bet the crap out of him.. That horse crushed the field and we were jumping up and down at a Kentucky Derby party.. think we made 18K each...One of the greatest gambling days of my life.. Well we started making withdrawl requests...that didn't go over so well.. The book refused to pay us, said we manipulated the situation on a bad line, so on and so on..After a few months of trying to get our money, we found therx website and found out they were one of the blacklisted books, so we were kind of f**ked... Thats how I got into the RX, over a scam book not paying up on the 2001 Kentucky Derby... the situation really got out of control.. we got down and dirty with them and pretty much made life difficult for them to where a short time later they were out of business.. I remember my friend getting death threats from the asshole running that scam..

You definitely got a great bet. I went back and looked and a Monarchos future bet paid $36.60 for a $2 wager.

Gave out Real Quiet to a couple guys including all the employees at Olympic Garden in Vegas...the VIP Host in the VIP room was very happy and I never paid another penny to take women from the floor into the VIP room...and never paid a cover to get into the club....even had a few of the girls bet the horse....
