If you want to achieve a "Southern Belle" look, choose something with a wide brim and decorative accents, such as flowers, ribbons or feathers. If royal chic is more your style, go with a Kate Middleton-inspired fascinator hat. Remember, there are really no wrong choices when it comes to your hat — other than choosing not to wear one. Kentucky Derby Outfits for Women Once you've chosen the perfect hat, you're ready to build the rest of your outfit. If your hat is a show-stopper, choose a simple dress that doesn't compete with it. If your hat is conservative and elegant, like a fascinator, choose something sleek and classy to pair it with. However, don't overthink it too much. Trust your instincts and have fun. As for shoes, keep in mind that you'll encounter cobblestone, grass and steps at Churchill Downs, so flexible footwear is key. A chunky heel is a safe bet, but those who are determined to wear stilettos may want to pack some emergency flats for later in the day. Finally, you'll need a bag to finish off your look. Actually, you'll probably need two bags. The first bag should be a chic clutch that accents your outfit. The second bag should be a larger, though still stylish, tote to carry your flats and other must-have items. Kentucky Derby Outfits for

Today I am taking a break from the series of articles I usually write, to bring you a subject I have thought about for a long time.

I won't go into what made the era special, because that would be insulting to your intelligence, everyone knows what made the era successful, and why some fans still pine for it. Needless to say, it was "cool", it suited the times, and it broke the mold formed over the previous decades.
Have you ever been to a horse race? Seeing the riders give their horses a pat and an apple after the race, people cheering for their horse as it runs rapidly to the finish line? Seems like a great time. But what happens to those horses after they are done their race. What happens to the people who gambled their family’s lives savings. All horse racing should be shut down due to the well being of the horses, the effects of gambling, and the lack of interest.
One of the most famed horse races in the world, fans flock to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky on the first Saturday in May to watch the most exciting two minutes of sports. The first racecourse was laid out in 1789 in Lexington, Kentucky. 100 years later, in 1875, Churchill Downs became the official home of the Kentucky Derby. The first Kentucky Derby race was run at one and a half miles in front of a 10,000 person crowd. Of the fifteen horses that competed in this race, the first winner was a horse named Aristides (Kentucky Derby History).
2 dogs, fiercely racing down the ice-covered dirt, dash toward the final stretch of the Iditarod, each leading his own pack of dogs. The finish line ribbon is broken, and the crowd goes ecstatic as the announcer says, “And the winner of this year’s Iditarod race is…” The Iditarod is a sled dog racing competition located in Alaska. The race consists of a 1000 mile course to the village of Nome to celebrate the dog sledding team that delivered crucial medicine to the village of Nome that stopped a fatal diphtheria outbreak. And although some say the the Iditarod is cruel and abusive to dogs, the race should continue because it is an excellent way to commemorate an important event in Alaska’s history and allows dogs to perform their natural calling: running.
