After a bit of rain, a bunch of rich, drunk people finally witnessed the ‘fastest two minutes in sports’ on Saturday. Also known as the Kentucky Derby, a horse named Always Dreaming won the 143rd annual Louisville race.
Who cares? Well, a lot of people at least pretend to. Below are just a slice of the celebrities and athletes who attended the race, and more importantly, a look at the ridiculous, pretentious garb they wore to the even more turgid event.
Enjoy. It’s a hoot.
