Catching up with Thunder Gulch, Groupie Doll and Plum Pretty

Beautiful weather and wonderful photo opportunities this week in Central Kentucky. Kentucky Derby winner Thunder Gulch, now 23 and retired, resides in the Ashford Stud stallion barn near Versailles, Ky. Stallion manager Richard Barry and his staff do a tremendous job. As breeding season nears, they have 13 stallions on the roster. http://coolmore.com/america/stallion-roster-america/
