Kentucky Derby 2015

It's Kentucky Derby time! Here is the field (with pedigrees) in post position order. Bonus photos of Four Star Sales grads Danzig Moon as a yearling and Keen Ice as a foal.

My horses? I am in love with DORTMUND. He is a stunning individual. Morning line favorite American Pharoah is gorgeous as well, but Dortmund is DORTMUND. Upstart and Danzig Moon have caught my eye to grab a piece of the prize.
