HOW THE KENTUCKY DERBY IS CELEBRATED ON THE QUEEN MARY 2

As far as I know, the only evidence of the Queen Mary 2 celebrating the Kentucky Derby is me having two mint juleps, and taste-testing Woodward Reserve and Makers Mark Kentucky bourbons.  No Old Forrester on the ship.  Also I don't hold much hope for the sports channels to show the derby.  All they play are soccer, auto/bike racing, darts, with an occasional NBA game. While testing Kentucky whiskies, I also saw a Japanese scotch.  So I tried it too. Post-time for this  150th Kentucky Derb y is 6:57 PM ET today.   The heavy favorite is Sierra Leone at 3-1.  He is a late closer, and there are 20 other horses running, so that could be a major problem.  Starts out of gate 2. I like longer shots, and my favorite is  Forever Young  (right), a 10-1 shot from Japan out of the 11th position.  He has never lost yet. Last night was Gala Evening Attire night, so I had on my ascot set.  For those who don't know,  ascots are making a fashion comeback . The origins date back to the late 19th
