The real guardians of the track: the outriders at Churchill Downs. Calm in chaos, protecting horse & human —Derby weekend and every single day. They deserve far more credit than they get.
Today was Donna Brothers' final time covering the Kentucky Derby for NBC. Before the race, Cherie DeVaux said "it is an honor that you get to do your last walkover with me."
Brothers told DeVaux, "I'm hoping you become the first female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby."
Cherie’s husband is legendary bloodstock agent David Ingordo, who picked out, among many others, Zenyatta and Flightline. David is pictured here showing his support for Cherie.
As I was leaving @FasigTiptonCo tonight, I saw a trainer’s last moment with their horse. From humble breeding to a $3M sale—years of work and emotion distilled into a quiet goodbye just like so many moments along the ride… alone in the dark. The side of this game we rarely see.
