In the USA, this is the equivalent of St. Patrick's Day for consumption of alcohol (tequila and margheritas especially), plus, of course, honorification of Mexican culture and heritage. Mesquite, Nevada is in the region where CdM is particularly observed, and Kenji's Golf Safari will have a Mexican lunch followed by a grand tequila reception followed by a night revolving around the Mayweather-Cotto boxing match and, perhaps, some gambling, as we're staying in the Eureka Casino, where Carla Marrero, originally from Kona and Maui, takes good care of us. She recommended Gregory's, where we had a fabulous steak dinner last night, the total cost for the group with wine, including tax and tip, at a cost much lower than my individual meals at Jiro's and Ryu Gin.
Today is also the Kentucky Derby, said to be the most exciting two minutes in sports. Post time will be at 6:24 PM ET with 165,000+ in attendance. The race has never been cancelled in 137 years, and even though the weather will be a major problem, 20 male thoroughbreds will run 1.25 miles today at Churchill Downs in Louisville. The last filly to win was Winning Colors in 1988. She passed away four years ago at the age of 23. A world class sprinter would be at half a mile when these horses finish. Adding variety to the day will be a mint julep or two. And, yes, they wear those funny hats like they do at Ascot (that's My Fair Lady).
