Marvene and I joined our friends, Larry and Brenda Pullen, for the 144th Kentucky Derby on May 5, 2018. It was an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime adventure for the four of us, and Brenda’s last vacation. We were unsure of our ability to capture this historic event on camera since regular cameras are not allowed inside the stadium. Larry and I improvised with our iPhones.
It rained all day. The lead horses galloped wildly around the last corner and headed down the final stretch right in front of us. It was a thrilling finish.
Justify (7) passed all the other horses and won the Kentucky Derby, then went on to win the Triple Crown.
