A FARM FOR ALL SEASONS
A year in pictures from Arthur and Staci Hancock’s Stone Farm near Paris, Kentucky.

SEEING STARS
The guest lists for last year’s big Derby parties included dozens of very familiar faces.

STRIDE FOR STRIDE WITH BIG RED
The gravestone is simple. It’s not a detailed statue depicting a Thoroughbred extended into full stride. A famous quotation isn’t chiseled into its surface. Flowers don’t even decorate the snow-covered ground in front of it. It merely displays a horse’s name and the years he lived: SECRETARIAT 1970-1989.

THE ECSTASY AND AGONY OF EDGAR PRADO
Last year's Derby win was supposed to be just the opening act for the partnership of Barbaro and jockey Edgar Prado.  Two weeks later, fate separated them forever.

HOME & DESIGN — SOUTHERN COMFORTS
This 21st-century multi-columned country estate exudes 19th-century Deep South romanticism.

DERBY FESTIVAL CALENDAR
Premiering this year is a widening of the Festival’s Chow Wagon into the Kroger-sponsored “Fest-a-ville on the Waterfront,” of which the Chow Wagon is just a part.

THE 48-HOUR DERBY
It was a late-in-the-game assignment: Call around and find Derby tickets, find dinner reservations and find a hotel room. Then, when it’s all over, sit down and tell the story of how we pulled it off.

SMILLIE'S PICKS
Create your own custom-designed Easter egg (with the aid of a glass artist) at Glassworks’ “Eggs . . . Blown Not Laid.”

ME & TOMMY LEE
I deemed him worthy because he was the one with the most kitsch factor and, to tell the truth, because I still had fond memories of a New Jersey adolescence spent wearing too much eyeliner and listening to “Looks That Kill.”

NEIGH'S ANATOMY

Needless to say, skeletal equivalents notwithstanding, it is never good for people to run on their tiptoes.

A FEW GOOD BETS
King Kong, the legendary Louisville band, can be as misunderstood as its 50-foot-tall ape namesake.

HORSE HAVEN
Michael Blowen and wife Diane White launched Old Friends in 2003, following the much-publicized slaughter in Japan of 1986 Kentucky Derby winner Ferdinand.

PARTY WITH A PURPOSE
Good things can come from too much Derby Eve partying. Case in point: the Mint Jubilee Resource Center.

NATASHA SPETH — LEAGUE COACH, DERBY CITY ROLLER GIRLS
One part girlie, two parts tough, Natasha Speth spends her time doing two things she is passionate about: hair-styling and roller-skating — with a twist.
