It’s exciting Florida Derby week
Racing fans aren’t the only ones excited about what these five days mean to the local communities & businesses that can use some help By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com If you have lived in South Florida long enough, you already know how much of an impact the Florida Derby has on our communities. From the coverage the race attracts worldwide - to the week of activities that have gone on at Gulfstream Park & Casino in Hallandale Beach - things are falling into place for this much-anticipated event. With the Kentucky Derby coming up, the Xpressbet.com Florida Derby is certainly one of those races that feature many of the thoroughbreds that we will

Keith Miller has been attending the Florida Derby since the 1960’s - and while times have changed in the industry - it certainly has not diminished the enthusiasm for racing - and of course new racing fans to come out and take in the atmosphere. “It’s like a Super Bowl feeling,” Miller said. “It used to be just the Saturday, but because of promotions and other things, it has become much bigger.”

One of those passions was raising money and hosting the Annual Kiwanis Pasta Dinner. The dinner, which is heading into its amazing 12th year, is something
that Julian has long believed is the one community-based event that brings everyone together. It has indeed been his passion. Last week, the event - scheduled for Friday, April 7, had to be moved back - when Julian suffered a massive stroke, leaving his friends and those who share that same passion, stunned and at a loss for words. “Bill Julian is this event,” said longtime friend and fellow Kiw-
