No they don't race the day afterwards and Live! on 4th or 5th (can't recall which it is) Street is really fun.

who cares who is a sponsor or what is being sponsored. it it still the ky derby no matter what. if you cant get by the sponsor then you are focusing on the wrong thing when it comes to the derby.

i prefer the bars on baxter more than the ones on 4th street live. the derby museum is a must. molly malones is awesome, o'malleys on 2nd street is fun as well. always plenty to do during derby week in louisville.

Im surprised Emirates didn't make a move to sponsor it. They seem to be sponsoring everything these days and are favourites to sponsor the Epsom Derby when Vodafone's spell runs out this year!

Something thats actually kind of funny, or sad, about this is that Yum! is actually having problems with their stock plunging right now. Between the e.coli in all the Taco Bells (don't remember where) and the rat infestation in one of their KFC/Taco Bells in NY, they're not doing too well.

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm not sure I'd want the Derby associated with disease and infestations. But, hey, that's just me!
