Don Chavez

For those of you who don’t already know, DonChavez.com hit the Internet scene as a horse racing blog a few years ago. I quickly found out that there wasn’t much interest in horse racing, other than three weekends out of the year in May and June.

So I thought I would get back to my humble blogging roots and put together a few posts about the Derby this week. I’ll get things started with Kentucky Derby Fact #1:

Sure the ladies wear funny hats, but there’s nothing strange about it. Women are the same people who wear sunglasses bigger than their heads, carry handbags so big they could double as a homeless shelter, and strut around in Ugg boots because Oprah tells them to. Now when a man throws on a funny hat at the Derby it’s something to talk about. Nowhere else in the world, could you get a group of blue bloods together and have them wear a piece of women’s clothing. In public at least.
