Guest Blog: An Old Fashioned Kind of Party

With new 3-year-old stars emerging every week as we get ready to wind down the 2010 Triple Crown trail, let's take a quick look back at a popular star from last year--Old Fashioned.

Safety First

By Alex Waldrop, NTRA.com Like many of you, I watched Saturday’s Kentucky Derby and was in awe of the amazing performance of Big Brown and his talented jockey, Kent Desormeaux.
