Derby and Oaks (1999)
The first Derby I am able to attend since moving to Louisville.
You have The Duck from New Orleans, Julie and Amanda from San Diego, Kit from Chicago, and Shawn from Baton Rouge.
When I moved to Louisville from Mobile, Shawn and I were dating and I paid for her to come up for the Derby. Three days later, when I dropped her off at the airport for her trip back home, we both knew that would be the last time we ever spoke to each other - and it was. It was the start of a new tradition, though - Julie gave me the hoof bottle that you can still see me break out on occasion.
