Making Bets on Kentucky Derby Day

Not being a gambling man, I don't usually pay the Kentucky Derby much mind, but every time I hear mention of it, the song "Dead Flowers" starts running through my head. However, the Rolling Stones' version is not the one I think of. I think of the cover by Texas' own Steve Earle, which I first heard while rolling down Highway 16 near Enchanted Rock many moons ago. 

For your listening pleasure, here is the Steve Earle version of "Dead Flowers." Keep your ears open for the "Kentucky Derby Day" reference.
