Twin Spires
This Saturday, May 5th, will be the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. There are twenty-one thoroughbreds entered which is a rather large field and it will look like a cavalry charge
as they leave the gate. These are all three year olds and doubtful any have been tested at ten furlongs which is the Derby length. With all the jockey silks it should make for a colorful spectacle. And if your choice is HANSEN he should be easy to follow in the crowd as he is an uncommon white colt. Anyway, hope for good weather and a dry track and go easy on the mint juleps.
