  • THE 2015 MKB BOOK of Kentucky Derby Prospects
    4/8 THE 2015 MKB BOOK of Kentucky Derby Prospects As awarded by Annie and the Magic Genie MKB Biographies by Annie Contributing and editing by SR Vegas MKB : a Brief History. I wanted to note how the MKB started . Back in summer of 2008 , it was noticed by our ANNIE that there is a lull in horse racing interest between the Breeders Cup races and the Kentucky Derby . What better way to continue sharing our horse racing passion, interaction and dialog with our Formblog friends by offering an activity to bridge that gap. How about a ‘Kentucky Derby prospect’ to follow along the preps and races leading up to the Kentucky Derby in May ? GENIUS! That concept became what is now the MKB. It can only be found here at Dan Illman’s Formblog. The first year was for the 2009 Kentucky Derby and now seven years later it is still as popular and going strong. Each year we have new people visiting and participating at Dan’s Formblog. Here is a Nov 2014 post and explanation from Annie : I suppose I should explain the MKB for the newcomers. Like every year, someone is sure to ask "What is the MKB?" :) MKB stands for Magic Kleenex Box. It's named for the box in which the names of promising two-year-olds will be placed next month. On December 14th, one of these horses will be drawn for each Formblogger who signs up for the MKB. That horse will become that person's own special horse to follow along the Derby Trail.
