My heart strings Kentucky Derby pick is General Quarters. Click here to read the full story of how 75 year old former school principal Tom McCarthy purchased General Quarters from his former owner - for $20,000 - because he was "too slow." I would say this turned out to be a good investment.
Now Mr. McCarthy is a one man horse owner/trainer/stable. He does everything himself including feeding, grooming and bathing General Quarters. Julien Leparoux will be the jockey for the Derby.
