Nick Lachey, singer

"The Derby is a great event. I was here two years ago, but I missed last year because I had to go to a wedding."

Is the Cincinnati native really going to run for mayor?

"No plans to run for mayor. I think Mayor Luken is doing a great job."

Carson Daly, late-night talk show host

"I was here last year. It was my first time. I had fun; there are real nice folks. Except the mint julep - that's horrible."

On his choice of vintage-style clothing:

"This is what the Derby is all about, to go back in time and pay a little homage to a great sport."

Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani

"This is like a dream come true. We're all set for the race. This is our first time here, and we're really enjoying it."

Wanya Morris,

first and second tenor for Boyz II Men

"We've come here many times on tour. But we've never been to the Derby. ... We're trying to learn the game. But everybody's nice here. They have a real cool manner."

George Strait, country singer

"I'm having a good time. So far, so good. I've been here 12 or 13 times, but I've only had two winners, Winning Colors and Lil E. Tee. I think I'm going with Smarty Jones this time. He's undefeated, that's one thing. You just have to go with your gut."

Troy Aikman, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback

"It's great being back. ... The hospitality here in Louisville has always been great."

Travis Tritt, country music singer

"This is our seventh year. We love the hospitality of this city and the race itself. We've met a lot of friends at the Derby and only see them when we're here. It's like a family reunion almost."

Dennis Hopper, actor

"I cry every time they play 'My Old Kentucky Home.' Both sets of my grandparents were from Kentucky."
