Kentucky Derby Horse Has North Carolina Ties
According to WRAL-TV, horse owners Bill and Tammy Simon won’t be home, on Barber Road, this weekend. They are in Kentucky, to watch their horse, Barber Road, run for the roses.
The big race is one of the most-watched events in sports. Barber Road is a fan favorite because the horse has a tendency to win from behind. Bill and Tammy own 25 racehorses but Barber Road is the first to qualify for the Kentucky Derby.
Keep your fingers crossed that the horse named after a road in Lenoir County brings home the win! Do you have a favorite in the race? Any past winners you remember?
