A resident of Memphis, Tennessee, Jimmy Winemiller is a real estate agent/operator who has successfully managed several of his own companies. Jimmy Winemiller and his wife are also lovers of horses. They have invested in racing horses and have had one race at Churchill Downs, the world-famous racetrack in Louisville that is home to the prestigious Kentucky Derby.
The Kentucky Derby is the longest-running sporting event in the United States. It all started when Colonel Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr. returned home from a trip to England and France. While he was in Europe, the colonel fell in love with horse racing and wanted to bring the spectacle back to his home country.
Membership subscriptions raised the original funding for Churchill Downs, 320 at $100 apiece. Owners leased the land from Colonel Clark’s uncles. The original Churchill Downs complex comprised a clubhouse, a grandstand, a porters’ lodge, and six stables. On May 17, 1875, Churchill Downs held its first race, and a crowd of 10,000 spectators witnessed the three main races, including the 1.5-mile Kentucky Derby.

The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton was the event of the decade, and today marks the third anniversary. See all the beautiful pictures again.
Prince William married Catherine Middleton in the most anticipated Royal Wedding of the decade, on 29th April 2011. And as the couple celebrate their 4th anniversary, we're looking back at those incredible wedding pictures from the big day.
Held in the iconic Westminster Abbey, the world watched on as the bride-to-be stepped out of her classic wedding car, after a short but no doubt nervous journey through the streets of London, revealing her breathtaking Alexander McQueen gown to the waiting crowds.
Nipped-in at the waist and featuring delicate vintage-inspired lace sleeves, Kate Middleton's incredible gown was the perfect choice for a royal bride, and no doubt inspired thousands of replica versions across the globe.
Alongside her, Maid Of Honour Pippa Middleton wowed in an equally chic invory Alexander McQueen gown.
And the guests didn't dissappoint on the style-front either. The royal family were a delight in complimentary pastel shades. While Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie went one step further, opting for showstopping creations that were anything but boring.
The Beckhams joined the celebrity guests, with Victoria opting for a striking navy dress of her own creation, and David a dapper morning suit.
From the arrival of the bride and guests, the beautiful ceremony to the newly married couple zipping out in a vintage car for a spin around town - we chart the most incredible moments from the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.
To mark 60 years of The Queen's reign the Parliamentary Information Office of the Parliamentary Yearbook is, in common with the whole of the country, celebrating her Diamond Jubilee. This brief report gives a flavour of the events that have taken place, events that have gripped the nation.

One of America's landmark homes, the Miami Beach mansion that once belonged to Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace. Gianni Versace bought this 1930s style Mediterranean mansion in 1992 and spent an estimated $33 million on improvements. In 1997 he was tragically shot to death by a serial killer on the mansion’s doorstep. The former Versace mansion was originally built by Standard Oil heir Alden Freeman. It was modeled after the Alcazar de Colon palace built in the Dominican Republic in 1510 by the son of Christopher Columbus. The 23,000 square foot mansion is located in Miami Beach on the famed South Beach Ocean Drive.

His choice of uniform was welcomed as a tribute to a battalion that has recently returned from an arduous tour in Afghanistan.
