Tornado Hits Churchill Downs ... by Cindy Lynn

While sitting in a restaurant and eating a burger, I noticed a news bar announcement on the bottom of the TV screen ... a tornado had hit Churchill Downs. The television showed photos of some of the destruction, and although it didn't look like everything had been damaged, it was still somewhat shocking. After all, the Kentucky Derby took place there just last month and for horse racing fans, Churchill Downs is the first step in the Triple Crown ... a victory that no horse was able to claim this year.

And then the show went back to something more important, like a commercial, or some political commentator who wished to opine. Well, ok, I'm being a little sarcastic here, but you'd think Churchill Downs experiencing a tornado might constitute a little more exposure than a news bar.

Just in case anyone's wondering ... yes, they did cancel the horse races until Friday.

Until next time ...
