Talk Derby To Me… How ’bout That Kentucky Derby Rose Garland!

Sunday at the Live Oak International Combined Driving Event in Ocala, I noticed a table full of red rose arrangements (pictured below), and immediately thought about the Kentucky Derby and the “Run for the Roses.” Here is a brief history of the beautiful red rose garland that race horse owners dream of winning and then dipping in bronze, silver or gold for posterity!

The priceless solid gold Kentucky Derby Winner’s Trophy arrived at Churchill Downs yesterday. Take a peek here.
