Oaks Post #2









 Bob Baffert :Horse Trainer



This guy is popular when it comes to Kentucky Derby Races and Oaks!!!!!
His horses are...

Derby:
American Pharoah
Dortmund

Oaks:
Luminance
Maybellene



These girls are the derby princesses of the year! Here is how to become one:



Always dreamed of being a princess but Prince Harry is always too busy with his duties in England to notice you? How about setting your sights a little closer to home and throwing your (future) crown into the ring to become a Kentucky Derby Festival Princess?
The KDF begins its search for members of the 2015 Royal Court Aug. 25. Young women from Kentucky or Southern Indiana who are full-time college students are eligible. Go to www.kdf.org for an application. The deadline for submissions is Oct. 10.
The program is not a beauty pageant. Each member of the Royal Court receives two $1,000 scholarships — one from The Fillies Inc. and one from the Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation. In addition to other sponsor gifts, each woman also receives a complimentary wardrobe.

Well that's your answer!!!! 

The official drink of the Kentucky Derby and oaks is a Mint Julep. People pay thousands of dollars to get a silver cup and a gold stirrer. They only get 1...1 drink!









40 Fresh Mint Leaves
4 tsp powdered or superfine sugar
crushed ice to fill 4 glasses
6oz. bourbon
1 liter bottle seltzer
cocktail muddler
4 Mint Julep Cups
4 Mint springs for garnish
