Last year, there was a lot of focus on jockey Chantal Sutherland because she was part of the HBO television series "Luck." She also stood to win the richest horse race in the world - the 2012 Dubai World Cup. This year, the female jockey in the spotlight is Rosie Napravnik. Her goal is to win the 2013 Kentucky Derby and break the record for most purse winnings by a female jockey.

Cap, gown, diploma, and a much better life are dangling carrots tmen's fedora hats target haunt, taunt and eventually cause illness. The sickness begins in gut and forays onto the forehead. Suddenly bright, hopeful eyes are dilated, sleepless, starving pupils suffering from a last minute bout of critical writing and thinking.

These are all eye-catching hats that would be the talk of the crowd. In fact, wearing such hats would probably give you an award or simply be featured in a TV show doing a cover for the exciting event. But how will you be able to have the perfectly crazy Kentucky Derby hat for you?

FACT OR FICTION? Early in the 1927 - 28 season, Duke Keats was suspended by NHL President Frank Calder. In anger, Duke swung his stick in the direction of some jeering Black Hawks fans...nearly striking actress Irene Castle. Irene just happened to be the wife of the Hawks owner Major Frederic McLaughlin. The suspension was eventually lifted the same day that Keats was traded. Keats officially became a Chicago Black Hawk December 16, 1927. The "bargain basement" contract figures for Gordie Howe's rookie season with the Red Wings was $2,600. "Mr. Hockey" broke into the NHL, 18 years of age, with the 1946-47 Red Wings. Rumor has it, Gordie has even more excited at breaking into the Red Wing lineup when Jolly Jack sweetened the contract by giving Howe a Red Wings jacket.

You will come across quite a good deal on online sites that have been in the business of selling such hats for women for long years. Companies proudly declare about the discounts as end of the season sale on Derby hats, for example. The hats are really of good quality and one should not mistake it as cheap.
