This weekend was the Kentucky Derby, and on the historic 150th running of this race, Mystik Dan delivered a breath-taking win, beating second place Sierra Leone and third place Forever Young in the first three horse photo finish since 1947 ended in a 3-horse photo finish. This year's race marks a unique milestone with the 150th running of the Derby — the first race took place back in 1875. There are lots of interesting facts about the Derby, with the drink of the race is the Mint Julep, made with Woodford Reserve as the official bourbon for the race. There wasn’t an official trophy for the race for almost 50 years, the first race was in 1875 and the trophy was created in 1924. To this day the Kentucky Derby trophy is one of the only solid gold trophies in the United States. The fastest Kentucky Derby was run by Secretariat in 1973 (1:59.40). The slowest winning time was run by Kingman in 1891 (2:52.25 for the mile and a half). There have been three fillies to win the race. I love the Kentucky Derby not only because it’s exciting, but also because it always provides important leadership lessons. Here are a few from the 2024 race: You can win against all odds. You just never know. You can’t stop until the end. This was an exciting race to watch, and even more interesting doing research on the history of the Derby as well as the winner. If you have something interesting to add to the lore of the Kentucky Derby, drop it in the chat. Don’t forget to like, comment, and follow so you don’t miss future content.

US Open Greens. Share your thoughts on these greens. I guess when you do this you put luck into the equation so it's not fair enough. My dear Superintendents don't like this because it's not the reality, I love it it's the only defense for these Monsters. Their accuracy it's unbelievable may one or two yards to a pin. Although don't think all greens are like this one. Otherwise scores will be really high. Normally the USGA and the US Open is the tougher Major in terms of course set up. If you look at the winning scores through the years they are always the higher on majors. Just consider Golf profesionals play another game comparing to amateurs, even low handicaps they can't shoot low in this kind of course from back tees. #majors #setup #usopen

If you're considering betting the Kentucky Derby odds this year, consider this betting method: Placing a unit on Fierceness to win the Kentucky Derby (+250) Placing 0.48% of a unit on the Derby winner to have two words in their name (-150) By doing this, a bettor would win roughly 12% of their risk from both bets assuming one of the seven that fit this cohort (among the nine Kentucky Derby betting favorites) wins the race. In other words, at a $100 unit size, you would get back about $17.76 in profit. For more information: https://lnkd.in/gb-s67Yk
