Wednesday Kentucky Derby Photos
Date: 05/3/2006
Here is the second half of the Wenesday photos with the 9 Oaks fillies and one bonus surprise horse at the end. I will add comments for the horses once the morning workout notes come out. Check here for the first half of the photos with the Derby horses.
The surprise horse is The Green Monkey. He is the $16 million record-priced Forestry colt purchased by Coolmore Stud at the Fasig-Tipton Calder 2-year-old sale in January. He is trainer by Todd Pletcher.
