I was at Churchill Downs to watch, but it wasn’t about the race at all.
My fingers weren’t on a racing program and my eyes weren’t on the racetrack.
I wasn’t a fan on Thurby Day, if anything, I was a horseracing hall monitor of sorts.
We’ve lived through a wild and unprecedented year of rules and regulations, and now as more people get vaccinated, the daily death toll drops and we see fewer cases of COVID-19 life is starting to feel more like normal.
I wondered what that sense of normalcy could mean for Louisville’s favorite week of the year.
