  • Shelby horses around with Thoroughbreds

    There’s no Timely Tip this year.

    The Shelby County-bred horse won the Arkansas and Ohio derbies and ran a game 15th in the 1954 Kentucky Derby. But Timely Tip did clip heels with eventual winner Determined at the start.

    “Our order of roses for this year is about seven thousand,” says Joyce Blair, the “rose lady” who is the liaison between Churchill Downs Inc. and Kroger, which constructs the garland for the Derby and the garland of lilies for the Kentucky Oaks.

  • Where’s the Beef?

    After months of finagling, a change in a county ordinance, lots of construction and a rousing of the community, the national restaurant chain Beef O’Brady’s will open its doors in Shelby County on Monday morning.
