It's that time of year again. Hundreds of three year old horses are vying to get in the stampede known as the Kentucky Derby. If you go to this site http://www.roadtotheroses.com/ you can have your own stable. First prize is a trip for two to the derby. Another prize is a $1000 bet for the horse of your choice. There's lots of other prizes but it's really about the ponies. You watch them run several times on the way to the derby and, well, you can't help but get attached. That's a bad thing for a serious gambler. But it's really fun to develop favorites and watch their progress. On the other hand, if you're more of a gambler you can get in on the future pool and bet the fast horses at better odds. http://www.kentuckyderby.com/contenders/future-wager.
