Kern’s Derby Pie | Natural Bridge State Park | Eastern Kentucky
The dinning room had a beautiful view of the river, with forested mountains closely hugging each side. I felt very fortunate to enjoy the view and Derby Pie. A Kentucky original, Derby Pie is best described as a chocolate & bourbon pecan pie; and as extremely amazing.

oh my fucking god
This horse wasn’t even supposed to be in the race. Horse number 20 (can’t remember it’s name) dropped out the day before for whatever reason, and Rich Strike was just barely able to sneak a spot into the derby before the deadline. Not to mention that this was just some garbage $30,000 horse that didn’t have any kind of impressive breeding (yes I am aware $30k is still a lot, but for a Kentucky Derby horse, that’s chump change). He was the second biggest upset in the history of the Derby, with one other horse (Donerail) winning with 91-1 odds before in 1913 (Which, for reference, I’m pretty sure Donerail with his 91-1 odds still holds the record for the worst odds in the history of the race. Just for context of how shit Rich Strike’s 80-1 odds were. Not THE worst, but definitely up there).
I am in love with this shit horse who wasn’t even supposed to be there, had some of the worst odds in the history of the race, and had the worst starting position who completely destroyed all of the favorites to win. Watching him come up to first right at the last second was THRILLING.
This story is fucking hilarious
So Rich Strike has barely won a race, but he ALWAYS shoots up in the last stretch. He goes from 11th to 4th, from 8th to 3rd. Rich Strike hits the final corner and suddenly gets flashbacks to his previous life as a Klingon warrior. He starts snarling curses and heads for the finish line like it insulted his ancestors and must PAY, that’s just how he runs races
And this was a record-setting time for the Kentucky Derby- the fastest race EVER. It was incredible. Which means the lead horses, the favorites, were sprinting as hard as they could the entire race. By the time they got to the end they were exhausted
And here comes Rich Strike, turns the last corner and his vision goes red. The lead horses can’t pick up the final sprint like usual- they already ARE going flat out. Rich Strike comes up on the inside, NOT exhausted by fighting for the lead spot, howling “DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR” like the complete fucking lunatic he is and just blows past everyone
He’s ready to kill. He wants to tear into some Romulans and destroy the Federation, and he wins everything
Then the guy on horseback whose job it is to help slow the running horses down after they cross the finish line comes up and Rich Strike LOSES HIS SHIT
He bites the other horse, he bites the rider, he bites himself. He’s like “oh you think you can slow ME down?! I’LL KILL YOU. QAPLA!”

also when he won, PEOPLE BOOED. The Kentucky Derby crowd BOOED, and this horse goes and immediately starts trying to eat another horse (grabbing its reins!!) and human leg. The sheer fucking chaos of this moment cannot be overstated. I wish there’d been crowd cams of people losing their damn minds. If every Kentucky Derby was like this I’d care so much more and be just Munching Popcorn.jpg. this was Cinema
