Kentucky delayed live blogging

The Kentucky Derby happened last week, but our local Southern belle Amanda had to delay her party until hubbie Jack was in town.  So here we are, and because she complained that I didn't blog her birthday party you get the treat of live blogging!  Results from the race (which will be shown on video later) will be transmitted live as they happened a week ago.  And if that sounds complicated, try being here with a mint julep in your hand...

1.38pm



Welcome y'all.



Hannah is ahead by a nose.



What else are you meant to eat at a Kentucky Derby party?



Mmmmm.  Wait until you see the chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter topping.

1.55pm



Where have those horses got to?



Anat and Shauli have been drinking since breakfast.



The hats are out!

2.24pm


Pete "borrows" one of Fini's hats.



Me blogging Dana reading my blog!  Meta-blogging in the extreme!!



Hannah and Amir - MBAs with sooo much work to do for their finals.



Dana's glass - empty, as usual.

2.48pm



Jack explains the intricacies of Kentucky hat couture.



And they're off!



I bet on Atomic Rain.  I'm still not sure if it won.



The tension is getting to Raymundo.



Caught!  Stealing food, and rather too attached to that hat...
