I think it's time for you to break out the Mint Julep's and silver goblet's to commemorate the event!!

Mint Julep Ingredients

Wondering what’s in a mint julep? These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this top-rated mint julep recipe:

Water and sugar: The homemade simple syrup starts with equal parts water and white sugar.
Mint: You’ll need roughly chopped fresh mint leaves to flavor the simple syrup and eight fresh mint sprigs to garnish.
Ice: Mint juleps are traditionally served over ice. Crushed ice is best, but ice cubes will work.
Bourbon: Try to use a Kentucky bourbon, such as Maker’s Mark.

How to Make a Mint Julep

You’ll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make this homemade mint julep:

Make the simple syrup with water, sugar, and mint.
Fill the glasses with ice, then pour bourbon and mint syrup into each cup.
Garnish with mint sprigs.

How to Serve Mint Juleps

Mint juleps are traditionally served in silver goblets or highball glasses.

Mint Juleps are disgusting.

I have personally never never had one, but I know they are a Derby thing.
Now that I dig a little deeper, there are a lot of off the cuff derby drinks.

I would rather drink a Mint Julep than watch a horse race.

:harumph:

DP THE UNDERDOG TO WIN IT ALL BABY

I have been to the Derby a couple of times. The Mint Julep you get at the track is great but pricey. My father in law, rip, shared his recipe that is made in a bucket. It's damn good. I actually enjoy horse racing. I used to work at a track in Washington at the paddock gate . Good job for a college student.

I'll take one, please.

No ice.
Or water.

Or mint.

Needs a Gas don't give a chit option

T O Password looks like a winner!!!!

I had a couple mint juleps at the Derby many moons ago. Woodford was the sponsored "house bourbon"

DEEEElicious.

I just watch to say that I watch. It is like gymnastics, once a year is good.

Agree. I find mint revolting. I most commonly encounter it when someone is chewing gum or sucking on a mint. Thanks for the reminder that molecules that were in your mouth 10 seconds ago are now in my nose.

I'm going longshot Society Man. He's the only horse in the field that's a good mudder.

Exactly. Sounds like a good way to ruin whiskey if you ask me.

Sierra Leone has finished in the top two twice on a muddy track. I don't care for the #2 post position, and you're gonna get really short odds, but he's the pick today.

I'll probably throw Mystik Dan and Just Steel in and box a (2-3-6) trifecta with the three.

Its Gonna Be Glue 200:1

You mean glue factory.
I once bet on a horse that ended up first in the next race

Sierra Leone gonna win it.

I don't follow horse racing however the losers are the people who think they know how to beat the system. The winners are the people who own the horses and run the books.

The real winner is the horse that is put out to stud while the loser ends up making glue and hamburgers.

They just showed Travis Kelce at the derby. He looked rather dashing.

Always amazes me how they give this the SB treatment. it has been on since 1:30 with almost another hour to go.

Fierceness

Welp, after flipping a mental coin a few times, I put a $20 on Fierceness. Counting on Brady to find a way to cheat and help his horse to a W.

catching freedom will come in second-because it is from Iowa.

Mostly a lot of rich white people there.

One of the trainers was black.
And I would guess most jockeys are hispanic. I did see one italian.

What advice did you give him?

Make it run fast, turn left.

Just a Douche to place.

I did a $10 exacta box on 2-4-7-13-15. Cost me $200

Any 1-2 combo of those 5 horses makes me a winner.

Mystik Dan. Because no reason why but just watch

Just Steel would be my pick.

$200 down the toilet....

That was close-close

could it be any closer?

That race ruled.

****ing Lt. Dan down the stretch by a nostril

https://y.yarn.co/f9006b30-d469-4eb7...508e2_text.gif

A five hour show about a two-minute race.

Amazing.

He was 18-1

I like seeing a horse win that is overlooked.

What a race. Mystik Dan!

What did the Refs do this time

this had to be scripted. :)

The 11 horse really forced the 2 horse far outside. That cost the 2 horse

I pick Mystic Dan......so when do they race?

2 races by a nose. That was one heck of a derby day

Mystik Dan Sorenson ftw lol

Travis Kelce Looks Dapper in Fedora at 150th Annual Kentucky Derby

Travis Kelce looked like a complete gentleman at the 150th annual Kentucky Derby races, dressing up in a crisp pinstripe suit.

Kelce, 34, attended the Churchill Downs annual equestrian race on Saturday, May 4, looking dapper in a double-breasted pinstripe suit with a dark tie and pocket square. He wore a platinum watch and earrings and topped off the look with a dark fedora that held a light blue feather on the side.

After walking the red carpet, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end made it to his seat to watch the jockeys take their places on the starting line. Per a video shared by the official Kentucky Derby Instagram account, Kelce got excited when his first race bet came to fruition.

Kelce enthusiastically jumped up and down screaming when he saw how his horse did on Saturday. “That’s how we do it,” he added. “Woo!”

While Kelce appeared at the Kentucky Derby solo, he’s recently been enjoying quality time with girlfriend Taylor Swift during his NFL offseason. Swift, 34, and Kelce have been dating since summer 2023, taking time to visit one another between his football games and her Eras Tour concerts. After a brief hiatus, Swift’s tour resumes on May 9 in Paris.

Nah SL rider made contact and took Forever Youngs back legs out/out of his stride and made contact and leaned on him all the way to the finish line. Jockey even pushed at one point.

Exciting race, though.

All odds are based on a $2 bet

Nearly a 20-1 odds at post time

You guys see the replay? The Japanese jockey was bumping the other horse all the way down the home stretch. Then right before the finish line, he grabs the other horse to slow it down. I’m assuming that’s not allowed so Why did they let it slide?

I'd have to imagine that incident is going to be addressed down the road after an audit. It certainly appears highly to be unsanctioned behavior.

Also, with the money and influence at stake on that silly race the stewards are going to be forced to do something I'm sure. Doesn't help the jockey or owner that the proof is on Twitter with 40k views as of this post.

We noticed the bumping all the way down the home stretch, but didn't see this. That's illegal as all hell. We were waiting for something after the race, but didn't hear anything, but we didn't wait very long, either.

Was the most exciting Derby I can ever remember!

That was a great race.
