OP isn't excited about the horses, it's for the mint juleps and hats.

I used to be but now as a life-long horse lover, I can't even watch.

+1. Educate yourself about the horse racing industry. I can't imagine that you would still be "excited" to watch this cruel spectacle.


+2 I was leaving this thread alone just because of the title but this is good advice so I'll pile on. Please educate yourself. On the horses and the jockeys.

I used to retrain racehorses. I quit because I couldn’t keep them sound enough to have a useful post-track career. I ended up having to basically give them away to low level homes after sinking several years into each one.

I have no excitement about horse racing ever. I do love a good Thoroughbred, but now breed Dutch Warmbloods that can actually do my sport and stay sound.

Google Private Vow. He was a KD racehorse in 2006. Shipped off to S Korea and killed in a slaughterhouse when he was no longer useful. Just one example of the KD cruelty. Stop
Supporting it.

The same thing happened to me last year I eventually fell asleep around 10 AM and slept for 8 hours straight and I ended up missing the derby.
