W.T. Young's Overbrook Farm will assume sponsorship of the Spinster Stakes for its 46th running during the Keeneland fall meet, the track announced yesterday. Keeneland'' Day on the favorite. Put Corey Nakatani on the second choice. Throw Jerry Bailey, Hall of Famer, into the mix. And Edgar Prado and John Velazquez and the promising Greta Kuntzweiler.
Some responses are ebullient.
So Dollar Bill, the slightest of favorites who rallied from last to finish third in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes yesterday, will be in the field for the 127th Kentucky Derby on May 5 at Churchill Downs, his home racetrack. The Day at the Races Alannan's long-shot victory in the Commonwealth Breeders' Cup was bittersweet. Soon afterward, Tammaro disappeared, and last week his body was found in his car submerged in a Florida canal. His death was ruled an accident. Today's really good news is that Lexington resident Tom Hammond is back on the road to becoming the host for NBC's telecast of the 127th Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 5 at Churchill Downs.
