They don't give the horse nothin' but a bouquet of roses.
The owner must have regrets.

The owner must have regrets.
The jewels may have slowed him down and he wouldn't have won anyway .
I came south on I-71 in KY Saturday morning . KSP had a welcoming comittee for derbay fans . At exit 55 there was a bear on the overpass with radar and 5 chase cars working . Note I didn't say waiting . They stayed busy .

Canadian touch in Derby...
Mine That Bird, bred in Kentucky by Toronto's Peter Lamantia and partners and bought at a yearling auction by Woodbine-based trainer Dave Cotey for $9,500, won four of five starts at Woodbine and was Canada's 2-year-old champion last year.
After winning the Grey Stakes at Woodbine last fall, increasing his earnings to $324,000, Mine That Bird was sold by Cotey and his partners at Dominion Bloodstock for $400,000 to a New Mexico partnership.

So both sets of owners did very well with this horse.
Now maybe they can afford a set of jewels.
