The Kentucky Derby will be run tomorrow at Churchill Downs in Lexington, Ky., and there will be a definite Aiken flavor to the race.
Two horses with ties to Aiken will be in the Run for the Roses, the first of the three Triple Crown of Racing events for 3-year-old thoroughbreds. Cowboy Cal and Eight Belles will go to the starting gate tomorrow being watched by millions around the world. Their early training however, came under the watchful eyes of a few professionals in Aiken.
Cowboy Cal is a Stonerside Stable horse that was broken and trained in Aiken by Tim Jones. He is now being trained by Todd Pletchers.
Eight Belles, a filly, was trained for 2 1/2 months in Aiken by Ron Stevens. He is now being trained by J. Larry Jones.
It is always a treat for Aiken County residents to have a horse to cheer for in the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes. To have a pair of horses to choose from in the field of 20 makes it even more fun for local watchers.
The performances to date by Aiken horses Eight Belles and Cowboy Cal are impressive and show that Aiken remains an important training facility in thoroughbred racing. Here's hoping that when the most exciting two minutes in sport is completed late Saturday afternoon that a blanket of roses will be placed across one of Aiken's own.
