Ah, Derby. The official holiday of the state of Kentucky. We here at the Outfield would be remiss if we didn't offer up a steaming helping of Derby related links for our faithful readers (all 5 of you). So with no further delay, here are your must read links for this Derby Weekend.
From our friends at The Sports Hernia, a look at some of the best chapeaus found at Churchill Downs. I likes me some #5.
From ESPN.com, an updated version of the fantastic 2006 guide to the Derby Infield, a guide to the Southern horse racin' vernacular, and a Derby A-Z
And the always good read, Deadspin, offers up their One-Stop Kentucky Derby Guide.
And finally, the always classy Frank Deford offers up his commentary courtesy of NPR's Morning Edition.
So, place your bets folks (I am going with Gayego), try not to tear up when you hear "My Old Kentucky Home", and enjoy the run for the roses.

We watch it from CA every year. I'm thinking I need to stop choosing favorites though...I have chosen Barbaro and Eight Belles. Next year, I'm staying silent.
