2009 KENTUCKY DERBY 135
THE KENTUCKY DERBY IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST AND BEST DAY OF SPORTS
RIDERS, TRAINERS, OWNERS AND THE FASTEST HORSE, HOPE TO HAVE THEIR KENTUCKY DERBY PORTRAIT, TAKEN UNDER THE TWIN SPIRES, FEATURING THE GARLAND OF RED ROSES. RACING FANS KNOW WHAT HAPPENS ON THE FIRST SATURDAY IN MAY. TODAY'S POPULARITY AND POWER OF THE DERBY IS GREATER THAN EVER. MANY FANS HOPE TO BE AT CHURCHILL DOWNS, ON THAT DAY. TELEVISION VIEWERS WORLDWIDE WILL CHEER FOR THE HORSE OF THEIR CHOICE. SOME HORSE FANS CAN RECITE THE NAMES OF TRIPLE CROWN WINNERS SUCH AS SECRETARIAT (1973), SEATTLE SLEW (1977) AND AFFIRMED (1978).
WINNING THE TRIPLE CROWN IS A DIFFICULT AND HONORABLE ACHIEVEMENT.
BIG BROWN FLEW THE CARGO IN GREAT STYLE
LAST YEAR THE BIG COLT CLAIMED A MASTERFUL VICTORY FROM THE 20-HOLE POSITION. HE TOOK EARLY POSITION FROM A FOUR OR FIVE WIDE PATH.
