Archarcharch, May 3 Churchill Downs
Getting ready for the Derby!! Backstory: For the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks, all the possible runners get special saddle cloths (yellow for Derby, pink for Oaks) as well as a special time slot at 8:30 to work out. As we all know, sometimes trainers want to work their horses with a buddy. Now, not all trainers are lucky like Todd and have two Derby horse. To let the horse onto the track at the special time, the workmate gets a saddle cloth that says “Work Mate” I found it much more amusing than it should be.
