Does the name sound familiar?
According to Kentucky rose growerMonty Justice, roses in Kentucky typically do not bloom until early June.
In 1892, each and every horse in the Kentucky Derby took one of the top three spots.
How did this happen?
Because only three horses ran in the race.
According toKentucky Forward,the winner a horse named Azra beat out the second-place finisher by a nose.
Both horses, however, had the same owner, a man named Ed Corrigan.
Six lengths back in third place was a horse by the name of Phil Dwyer.
Not a fan of the letter “S”?
“A,” “B,” and “C” names also tend to do well.
Never pick the horse who draws Post 17
WhileTown and Countryrelates that Post No.
The only two post positions with better numbers are Post No.
10 (nine winners) and Post No.
5 (10 winners).
19 and 20 and 2 wins for Post No.
17: not one single winner in 146 years.
Of course, by that logic, they’re about overdue for a win, wouldn’t you think?
