Various celebs of size and stature made their way to the Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY yesterday to attend the 136th Kentucky Derby. In all honesty, I’m guessing that most of these celebs were only interested in showing off their fancy outfits on the red carpet at the Derby yesterday (Johnny Weir and your fabulous hat, I’m talking to you!) but it sounds like a great day was had by all. Here are a few photos of some of the celebs who attended the race this year and a run-down of this year’s Derby:

The starting gate sprung open in the Kentucky Derby, with 19 horses scrambling for position. One jockey knew exactly where he was headed. Calvin Borel deftly tucked Super Saver along the rail Saturday on a track turned into creamy peanut butter by heavy rain. Once again, he was in his favorite spot, getting a clear path all the way through the goo. That’s why they call him “Bo-rail” and, for the third time in four years, he took the shortest path to the winner’s circle. Borel found only one horse in his way, and once he steered Super Saver around front-running Conveyance, another Run for the Roses was his. The most wide-open Derby in years ended with a sure thing — Borel crossing the finish line and punching the air with this right fist, this time raising it toward a leaden sky. “I knew nothing was going to run him down,” he said, referring to his bay colt. The jockey’s magic touch on his home track gave trainer Todd Pletcher his first Derby victory after 24 failures with a 2 1/2-length victory over Ice Box. “Calvin Borel is a great rider anywhere he goes, but at Churchill Downs he’s even five lengths better,” Pletcher said. “He knows how to ride this track and gets along with his colt beautifully.” Borel’s ride at his home track nearly duplicated the one he turned in last year aboard 50-1 shot Mine That Bird, except he and Super Saver went off at lower odds and were never in last place. Now the trio heads to Baltimore for the Preakness on May 15. “Calvin already said he’s going to win the Triple Crown,” Pletcher said, “so I guess we’d better go there.” The Triple Crown was last won 32 years ago by Affirmed. The last Derby winner to break from Super Saver’s No. 4 post was 1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew. Borel almost pulled off his own personal triple last year. Mine That Bird won the Derby, then Borel switched to filly Rachel Alexandra to win the Preakness before going back to Mine That Bird in the Belmont Stakes. They finished third as the 6-5 favorite. On Saturday, he was confident enough in his colt and his knowledge of the track to take him off the lead in the early going of the 1 1/4-mile race. In all but one of his six previous races, Super Saver had never been farther back than second in the early stages. Borel knew that strategy wouldn’t work in a 20-horse Derby field on a tiring, sloppy track that had been pelted by heavy rain early in the day. So they hugged the rail in sixth place, while many of his rivals were well off the fence in the muck. “We all know what he’s going to do,” said Robby Albarado, who finished 14th aboard Dean’s Kitten. “He just does it anyway.” Said Borel: “I was just taught it’s the shortest way around.” Super Saver was timed in 2:04.45 as the 8-1 second-choice behind favorite Lookin At Lucky, whose 6-1 odds tied Harlan’s Holiday in 2002 for the longest priced favorite in 136 runnings. He paid $18, $8.80 and $6.

… Um … I honestly have no idea what any of this means … at all. I know a horse named Super Saver won the race and that horse was ridden by a jockey named Calvin Borel who won his 3rd Kentucky Derby in 4 years (a feat that has never been done before) and his second Derby in a row. Other than that … no idea. I’m just here for the hats … which, I gotta say, were a bit of a let-down. Save for Johnny Weir, most of the hats donned by the celebs this year were pretty lackluster. I gotta give props to Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz for bringin’ the old skool favor to the red carpet. Ashlee looked like she came straight from the 1920s and Pete looked like an extra from Newsies. Well done. I suppose congrats are in order for Super Saver and his jockey Clavin Borel but, yeah, I really don’t get any of this at all. Do you?

Celebs of varying degree and caliber made their way out to the Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY for the 135th Kentucky Derby to bet on the horses, drink their mint julips and show off their fancy hats. Here are a few pics of some of the celebs who walked the red carpet at the Derby today:

I gotta say, I love Betheny from The Real Housewives of NYC (mostly because she isn’t a housewife at all and still manages to make that show work … oh yeah, and she’s about 10 secs. away from beating the shizz out of Kelly Bensimone) but I totally hate her entire outfit. I don’t know what she was thinking by wearing that bell-bottomed pantsuit but … yeah. Everyone else looked pretty OK with their snazzy hats. Because of the failing US economy, there is much less glitz at this year’s Derby but still, the celebs are makin’ it work. I don’t know shizz about horse racing but I can appreciate any event where the women are compelled to wear the most ostentatious hats they can find for our mere amusement. No Aretha Franklin hat sightings just yet … but I’ll keep my eye out.
