Mathematics is a very important subject to be taught in the Public schools to all students to prepare them for productivity in life.
Tonight we are handicapping the field of the Kentucky derby for some bets for tomorrow. Using simple math, a program from Churchill Downs, and a roomful of strong opinions from the guys we eliminate from a 20 horse field the 1, 4, 7, 9, 13, 14, 17 and 21. This is going to be easy, chose the first four finishers from the remaining field of twelve in consecutive order then life will be just fine for me.
Tonight using our math skills we plan how to spend our winnings tomorrow. How will we do on the math test tomorrow at the running of the Kentucky Derby?
Here's what I wrote a few years ago about a previous Kentucky Derby. Not sure what this story means but since that race is over it doesn't matter. Meantime enjoy tomorrow's race from the great State of Kentucky. Meanwhile life goes on without a field of winners in sight.

Bob and Betty had met for the first time at a party for the Kentucky Derby. There were both in their forties and divorced and both were in their own ways suspicious and cautious concerning romance.
Bob was big, broad shouldered and not overly tall, and also quiet and his friends had brought him to the party to get him out into the world. Betty was an expert on horses and had came to the party because she enjoyed anything concerning horses.
A local chiropractor had arranged the party and had wanted to share his wealth and success with the community. Dr. Mullins, the chiropractor introduced Bob and Betty and Betty helped Bob pick horses and Bob's friend Tul who was a little drunk had sat Betty on Bob's lap as a joke. At the end of the party Bob had kissed Betty as he walked her to her car.
Thirty three years later Betty and Bob were driving to the race track on Kentucky derby day. Betty wanted to celebrate their meeting anniversary. Both had on their best clothes. Betty had made reservations at the race track up near Cleveland and they had good seats up in the private dining area and she had paid twenty five dollars extra so they could sit at the windows.
Betty had baked cod and Bob had alfredo noodles. Betty picked the horses. Betty won a prize for having four of the top six finishers in the simulcast Kentucky derby line-up.
When Betty got up to get her prize, Nancy who was a nurse, and with her husband Carl, a car dealer, whispered to Carl that she thought that old man, sitting at the prize winner's table, had Alzheimer's disease.
Bob wasn't sure who the woman he was with going down the stairs at the race track was but, he wasn't going to let her carry the heavy box [ containing her prize]. After he put the box in her car he even got in when she asked him to.
Betty drove Bob home, happy she had won a TV as a door prize.
