The 140th Kentucky Derby in Louisville brought us an unbelievable story on Saturday.
California Chrome, the race winner, came from humble beginnings and an even more humble trainer, Art Sherman, at 77, trained Cal Chrome as his first Kentucky Derby horse, making Sherman the oldest trainer to win the race. In front of the second largest crowd to attend the Derby, the horse and his rider, Victor Espinoza, finished the race in a little over two minutes.
As usual, those in attendance and those who wished they could attend took to Twitter to discuss everything from this years winner to the hats to the mint juleps that filled the event.
Apparently horses are more important than the president.
At bar for Kentucky Derby. Asked if anyone was planning to watch WHCD. No one knew what I was talking about.

Does anyone do anything besides drink at events?
The Kentucky Derby is upon us, which means it’s time to make mint juleps. http://t.co/GTazw4Yvsi

That everyone apparently loved…
I will be sorely disappointed if Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir are not also involved on NBC’s 2016 election coverage. #KentuckyDerby

Unless they were on Instagram.
Between Kentucky Derby and Cinco De Mayo, drunk people in big hats are about to take up a lot of real estate on your Instagram feed.

Seriously.
The Kentucky Derby is the most over-analyzed two minutes since losing my virginity.
