Making Bets on Kentucky Derby Day


We breed thoroughbreds here in Kentucky and every first Saturday in May we invite the world to watch our three-year-olds run. Dave and Sandy’s little stallions, now 21 weeks old, are not yet ready for the mile and a quarter at Churchill Downs, but you can bet your Mint Julep and burgoo they’ll be running for their own roses soon. They’ll be parading before grandstands full of finely outfitted woman lavishly accessorized with large, elaborate hats as the band plays “My Old Kentucky Home”. Then all the celebrities on “Millionaire’s Row” will toast to them after witnessing the most exciting two minutes in sports. How they’ll pull this off is yet to be determined.
