John Haggin and his famous Miss GEICO racing boat has been chosen to participate in the Kentucky Derby Events. The neon green Miss GEICO boat will be the highlight of the Derby Preview party at the Louisville Convention Center on April 28. From there the boat will join the progression of floats in the Kentucky Derby Pegasus Parade on April 30 before an anticipated audience of over 350,000 people. Immediately after the parade, the boat will be transported to the infield of Churchill Downs to be prominently displayed at the Oaks on May 1 and the Kentucky Derby on May 2. Please look for the Miss GEICO boat at the start and finish of the Kentucky Derby race on NBC as it will be nearly impossible to miss.

Spent some time in the infield back in the day! Hopefully there is a pretty good distance between the boat and those animals that party in the infield. :26:

I'll have to DVR it since I'm going to be at the Mahopac Hudson Fun Run on the 2nd.

We have Security for that very reason
 
thats awesome! one of the best times i ever had was down there for the Derby. That town really knows how to have a good time. It was amazing that as large as the crowds are things move pretty smoothly. The downtown area was a blast every night. Ran into Kid Rock and Cuba Gooding jr at a Whitcastle down there . . . no chit :D
