Derby culture is more than just what fans see on the track.

It's about friendships and sisterhood, and women helping women.

"News" comes from anywhere and everywhere these days.

Maybe a better word for it is information.

Early today, several of my friends changed their profile pictures on Facebook to a red background with a pink equal sign, and my curiosity piqued. Perhaps you saw it, too.

Broken bones, bruises and bloody noses.

"Bones" featured an episode earlier this month, called "The Doll in the Derby."

You can find it on Hulu.
