It's just a little more than a month until the Kentucky Derby. You know what that means - mint juleps at Lara's! Well that, and all too often injuries that knock some of the most impressive three year olds in the country out of the Derby picture, long before the the sounds of My Old Kentucky Home are heard on that Saturday in May. The most recent victim was one of my favorites to take the Run for the Roses, Corinthian. He's got a hairline fracture in an ankle. He should race again, but probably not before the summer.
It's really too bad that so much talent never makes the race. But hey, as long as the mint juleps keep coming, I guess we can still enjoy the race.
