Did You Know? - The biggest underdog winner of the Kentucky Derby is a horse Disney has never made a movie about: Donerail. He was a 91-1 shot to win in 1913, but he won the race by half a length. That means anyone who placed a $2 bet got a $184.90 payout…which was a lot of money in 1913.

Wyatt had a great selection of mixer music including "Camptown Races"

Did You Know? - "Gwine to Run All Night, or De Camptown Races" (popularly known as "Camptown Races") is a minstrel song by Stephen Foster (1826–1864).

He also wrote: My Old Kentucky Home (1853), Oh! Susanna (1848),
Old Folks at Home (Swanee River) (1851), Beautiful Dreamer (1864), Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair (1854) and Old Black Joe (1853)

What a beautiful dance floor (oops! Race Track!)

Only a few more furlongs to go!

Did You Know? - A furlong is a measure of distance in imperial units and U.S. customary units equal to one-eighth of a mile, equivalent to 220 yards, 660 feet, 40 rods, or 10 chains. Using the internationally accepted conversion ratio that one inch equals exactly 25.4 millimetres, one furlong is 201.168 metres. However, the United States does not uniformly use this conversion ratio.

The name furlong derives from the Old English words furh (furrow) and lang (long). Dating back at least to early Anglo-Saxon times, it originally referred to the length of the furrow in one acre of a ploughed open field (a medieval communal field which was divided into strips).

The system of long furrows arose because turning a team of oxen pulling a heavy plough was difficult. This offset the drainage advantages of short furrows and meant furrows were made as long as possible. An acre is an area that is one furlong long and one chain (66 feet or 22 yards) wide.

For this reason, the furlong was once also called an acre's length, though in modern usage an area of one acre can be of any shape. The term furlong, or shot, was also used to describe a grouping of adjacent strips within an open field.
