"In a place where an animal can be worth the price of an island,
the legacy of the Colonel still stands as the most interesting thread in a story of stallions and stars"
~unidentified traveler and writer on the Irish National Stud Farm in County Kildare

The Kentucky Derby 

"The Run for the Roses"
Sports Writer and Church Hill Downs President Bill Corum
coined the phrase in the mid 1920's
We take a look at the starry past races so that we can learn how to predict the winners in the future.  Hopefully, with some stardust of luck and a little effort we'll see who just might have the glory of the stars to wear the Roses this year.
