Just as present were clear ponchos that ended up protecting those fancy threads when the sky eventually opened up three hours before the Derby post time. “This is cramping my style,” said Sharon Rose, visiting from Cleveland on her 13th trip to the Derby. But sunshine would’ve been perfect, if only to showcase those colorful splashes that make the Derby scene special.
