Filly Goes Against The Boys In The Derby Today
Who cares if the Big Brown stud beats the only filly in the race or vice versa? The front-runner is Big Brown who is currently at 3 to 1. There is a filly in this race this year for the first time since 1999 (when Excellent Meeting posted a fifth place finish.) This year’s filly is Eight Belles. Modern-day race horses are not what they used to be. When I first got addicted to the horse races fifty years ago you knew exactly who owned them and who trained them but nowadays race horses are basically multi-million-dollar “syndicate” investments on four hooves.
