Daily Kentucky Derby Report
by Amelia Baldree

Due to finals and the threat of rain, Emily opted to stay in bed (and she would like to note it was not the threat of rain, but the massive downpour of the previous night!), and I was all ready to brave Churchill Downs early this morning without her, as I did have plans to go with another non-Turf Angels buddy. Then, I logged onto weather.com at 5:44 A.M. this morning to see a big scary green blob heading towards Louisville. Hourly forecast predicted rain beginning at 6:00 A.M. until just after 9. Press releases stated that Zito would cancel his Derby contender works if it's raining. So guess what? I took my chances, and went back to bed.
