Survivor shines in Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade [Horse Racing]
Felicia O'Bryan, 49, was not upset last Friday when threatening thunderstorms delayed her participation in the Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade presented by Kroger. Although the 138 cancer survivors had already boarded the buses that would shuttle them from the Churchill Downs grandstand to the backside of the track, O'Bryan took the delay in stride and found delight in the fact that the bus she was forced to wait out the storm in was air-conditioned.

Kentucky Derby 138: Who’s your pick? [Horse Racing]
This year’s Kentucky Derby is wide open. This is a race in which any of at least 10 horses could win and I wouldn’t be surprised. It’s a race that I’m going to have to throw out competent runners because I can’t bet them all. None of these horses have ever run at the 1 ¼ distance of the Derby and none have ever or will ever face a field of 19 competitors. There are so many variables in the Kentucky Derby that very often the best horse does not win.

Kentucky Derby 138 horse profile: Take Charge Indy [Horse Racing]
Pros: Most notably, Take Charge Indy gets three-time Derby winning jockey and Louisville favorite Calvin Borel in the irons. Borel used to be able to stay just under the radar, but with three Derby wins, including the 50-1 Mine That Bird, if the other jockeys aren’t watching him the bettors are. Take Charge Indy earned a 104 Brisnet speed figure in his Florida Derby win over Reveron and Union Rags. Prior to that, he earned a 109 in defeat to El Padrino in the optional claimer that put the latter on the map.
