What’s a gelding?
A male horse that has been neutered.
No good on the rest - but I spent 10 days in KY in 2003 (Henderson) and enjoy my racing. Managed a trip to Ellis Park while I was there. Nice to be able to take kids to the races, as in England. HK forbids it.
Or should that be the Revised Substandard Perversion?
Anyway, when my family were invited to speak at Henderson Rotary, we offered them this version of the state song as a tribute to the fine fare we had enjoyed in KY:
And how many national titles has Billy D and his slicked-back hair won at Florida, pray tell?
kelly5078, you might be getting a western KY bias from me, since I’m from ACTUAL Western Kentucky (i.e. NOT Bowling Green.) That annoys the hell out of me. Kentucky extends far beyond Owensboro and Bowling Green.

The only answer I know is that Col. Sanders’ first name is Harland. But I’m Canadian city boy and know nothing about horses or US state politics. I don’t even know anyone who has ever been to Kentucky. I hear it’s nice, though.
Well, if you are a UK fan, it is definitely Ashley Judd. She doesn’t act the prima donna, but instead actually puts on the T-shirt, mingles with the students, jumps up and down and doesn’t mind getting sweaty.
I just missed Rebecca Gayheart in the grocery store the other day; her little town is right next to my little town. The cashier said she wasn’t looking very good, but that’s probably just the difference between grocery store looks and Hollywood set looks.
I am a big fan of Ale-8; the only reason I don’t drink it more often is the calories. (There is Diet Ale-8, but I refuse to acknowledge its existence.)
I guess I can add some questions, as a Kentucky boy:
Which popular Kentucky whiskey calls itself “Kentucky Whiskey” because it is not, in fact, bourbon? And why not? (Hint: Sadly, their Mint Julep mix provided the official mint juleps at Churchill Downs for last year’s Derby.)
