STEPHEN FOSTER A NICE RACE, BUT NOT BEST
|
Saturday's Stephen Foster Day at Churchill Downs produced a great
deal more debate than who would win the $750,000, Grade I feature.
Pre-race television ads bellowed, "The Kentucky Derby belongs to
the world. This day (Stephen Foster day) belongs to Kentucky. It's
the second greatest racing day in the state."
The first thing that came to mind: What about Kentucky Oaks Day?
The day before the Derby always draws more than 100,000 people, about
five times more than any Foster Day.
