No pick in that other big race

Gov. Steve Beshear arrived at Churchill Downs at 12:11 p.m. He said he is going to bet on Colonel John and Big Brown, "two good Kentucky-bred horses."

Beshear said he hopes to chat with Caroline Kennedy and Chelsea Clinton and all the political people from across the country who come to the track for the Derby.

But when asked about his pick in that other race, the presidential one, the governor smiled without a word and walked away with his security detail.
