 Mine That Bird, winner of the 2009 Kentucky Derby
|
It's that time of year again when the newly turned three-year-old Thoroughbreds start their campaign for the Kentucky Derby and dreams of the illusive Triple Crown. The first Derby of the year, the Tropical Park Derby, is on January 2nd at Calder and there will be a prep race somewhere every weekend from now on until the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May.
Keep checking back with this list as I will post results and links to recaps or stakes histories for all the races weekly. Although we have had several near misses recently, including Big Brown in 2008, the last Triple Crown winner was Affirmed in 1978. Will a talented sophomore step up this year and finally end the 32 year drought?
