You needed a nice chick to get your drinks for you... you men are such a pushover when it comes to being "aggressive" at the bar.

Haha, you're right on that Cajun. I like to think I'm a decent looking guy but I had no shot in comparison to the co-eds that were there that night. Not that I'd want the male bartender to stop for me, but the female bartender kept ingoring me too , lol.

I'm way aggressive when it comes to getting my alcohol.

It must have been crazy in there, though. I'm glad you guys had a good time.

He didn't grab me. He may have been intimidated. Did you see the crazy chicks dancing around everywhere? I was wearing a red dress with a black coat on over it, black gloves, and silver heels. I was dressed to the nines. I was a little blonde girl, and with the heels, stood about 5'6". You couldn't really see my dress under the long black coat. I was over at the far right table with some friends. I had an older woman with me. I was the little girl that you heard hollering every time that Lava Man or Bernardini rolled onto the screen. Of course, like me, you may have been a little bit tipsy and can't remember much.

With all the noise in the place I honestly can't remember hearing anybody holler when they would show the Breeder's Cup commercial, but I think I may have seen you because I remember seeing some people dressed up, which stood out from the crowd due to the fact that most people were in red or black Louisville t-shirts. I stood against the pillar across from the middle of the front bar for most of the night, so I had a pretty good view of the place. I certainly would have sent a drink over to any female I saw hollering when the showed the ponies had I actually noticed it .

Man, I'm sorry that I missed a DTer. We were probably the ones dressed up that you saw. I was a few guys. There were some guys being really loud that looked like thugs at the right end of the bar, and they were sitting right in front of us (we were at a table). Those guys that looked like thugs were funny, and they actually worked at Churchill Downs. I was told that they didn't look anything like that when they were actually at work though. I had a blast. And I can't believe that you didn't here me hollering for Bernardini and Lava Man!!! I was loud! And wild! And buzzing!

This happened to be my first BC experience. I was on the backside......so it was quite the experience to hear the the thunder of the field fly by. The catastrophic break down of the class Pine Island occurred directly in front of me. While I happened to be shooting away with my camera, I captured the horrific event. Needless to say, I could have done w/out these when I had the film developed. Unlike ESPN! RIP GOOD GIRL!
