Did you watch the Derby on Saturday?
The 131st running of the Kentucky Derby.
The most exciting two minutes in the world of sports.
Whew…what a race, huh.
We saw it from the best seats in the house at the ESPN Zone in Times Square.
We took Ferris and a buddy for his birthday – and literally we had the best spot in the joint… we had the center booth in the ‘screening room’ with two 16 foot screens and a dozen smaller ones each with a different ESPN feed, surrounded by stats and scores on either side. Also there was TV on our table, speakers in our headrests…TV’s in every stall in the bathroom (I will assume over every urinal as well). Not to mention the entire 3rd floor is a grown up video arcade. What a place.
That is …if you like sports.
And what a place to see the race! The place filled up about ½ hour before post time with people pouring in off the streets to pack the bar behind us. The roar when the race started was unbelievable. Barring being right at Churchill Downs – this was the spot to be.
Ferris placed a bet on ‘the rabbit’ cuz he is just that kinda guy. (anyone know who the rabbit was?).
He didn’t win… but he was the front runner out of the gate.
