Sunday Cardinal Couple - Derby Recap Social Distancing Edition

The day after the first Saturday in May is usually a day for Louisville and Louisvillians to recover from a day of over-indulgence.  That may be a bit less of a problem this year, though I do know many took the opportunity of some of the best Derby Day weather in about a decade to enjoy the day, including with some "adult beverages."

The day wasn't without some racing, however.  Oaklawn in Arkansas is having real racing, albeit without fans in the stands.  You can see how you might have done if you had followed Paulie's guidance over at Paulie's Picks.

"Virtual" Kentucky Derby

There were two other Derby Day homages.  The first, and the one that got the most attention was a "virtual Kentucky Derby".  Hosted by NBC Sports, much like they would've shown the real Kentucky Derby, this race was a computer graphics version of a Kentucky Derby as it might have been run by a field of historic Derby greats.  Including Seattle Slew, Secretariat, Whirlaway, Affirmed, Citation, and more.

The race was a close one, with Seattle Slew leading much of the race, but with Secretariat edging out Citation and Seattle Slew in the final lengths for the win.  The video can be found at:

Kentucky Turtle Derby

OK, this one is basically an advertisement for Old Forester, but it's still a fun shell-ebration.  There's a little bit of a history lesson in this one, as this is only the second running of the Kentucky Turtle Derby.  The last running was in 1945.  Why 1945?  That was the only year, since the creation of the Kentucky Derby in 1875 that the race had been postponed from it's originally scheduled date due to a World War II ban on horse racing.  The 1945 edition of the Kentucky Derby was run on June 9th, 1945, a month and a day after V-E (Victory in Europe) Day, the day Germany surrendered to the Allies.

On a side note, early Kentucky Derby's were run in mid-May, before the current "first Saturday in May" timing was established in 1932.

The field for the Kentucky Turtle Derby consisted of eight Turtles:  Seattle Slow, Green Mamba, Sir-Hides-A-Bunch, Galapa-Go, the longshot What the Turtleneck (that went off at 86-1 odds), Rocket to Nowhere, Steve, and American Tortuga.

In a neck-stretching finish, the longshot What the Turtleneck takes the victory in a ponderous 1/4 mile per hour pace, with Galapa-Go (8-1) placing, and Rocket to Nowhere (15-1) for the show.

Cardinal Couple Radio Hour

And once again, the CCRH quartet was "on the air" with the Cardinal Couple Radio Hour.  We got started without Paulie who's system crashed right before air time, but he battled through and came in clutch down the stretch.  Case, Jared, and myself also joined in the fun.

The Louie Awards and WBB transfers were the material for most of the show, and we also played the audio of the virtual mass marching band, that our very own Jared Anderson was a part of, playing "My Old Kentucky Home" for the Derby Day that wasn't.  Apologies for some confusion around the start of the "My Old Kentucky Home" recording as due to the audio settings on my computers Case, Paulie, and Jared could not hear the audio as it was playing.  Including this was a bit of a spur of the moment decision, so I couldn't get the audio setup correctly for them to hear it.
