Old Kentucky Home, and the Derby (NPR News)

From NPR News (All Things Considered) :
Commentary by Laura Lorson, May 3, 2007:

It's a whole series of events, integrating horseracing tradition and civic pride. For one native Louisvillian, the pageantry and ceremony associated with the Derby can bring on homesickness.
