With the Kentucky Derby a week away from today, it was a good morning to visit Churchill Downs and take pictures of the Derby and Oaks horses. Some of the horses went out before the designated Derby/Oaks contender time of 8:30-8:45, and others haven’t shipped in yet. Here are photos of nine of the colts, and tomorrow I’ll post pictures of the Oaks fillies.
