Who has Derby Fever?

I've got more of a Derby fungus.

But without the fun.

Hey Bud.... hope you are doin' OK...man, I searched for over half an hour and this photo is the only one I could find...it's Calvin and his (now) wife at the White House...she looked beautiful and Calvin wears tails as well as he does silks!!
Bud, I'll keep searching...that photo has to be somewhere.
Have yourself a good day, Bud...take care.

Hope this is the right place to ask. Any cheapo motels around? And it's 18+ to wager right? Bringing someone under 21

HA...somehow Obama doesn't strike me as inviting a jockey to the White House...even a Derby winning jock...but, if it means some really good PR for him...he might.
The photo of Calvin with Pres. Bush and the Queen still makes me smile...outstanding stuff!!

President Bush invited Calvin Borel to the White House at the request of Queen Elizabeth, not because he loves jockeys and racing...but she does, as did her wonderful mother, who on the occasion of her 100th birthday, was asked to explain the secret of her longevity.

"Gin and horse racing," said the Queen Mum.

My kinda gal!

Queen Elizabeth gave herself a trip to the Kentucky Derby for her 80th birthday. She stayed at Lane's End Farm (home of A.P. Indy) with Ambassador William Farish during her visit to Kentucky. The President threw a State Dinner in her honor the week after.
