A racehorse is made to run, and that is just what one horse did Saturday in Kentucky, to the amazement of drivers along the highway.

His visit was arranged so he could be wheeled right up to the fence at the 200m mark, where he'd get an unparalleled view of the action. 

Medina Spirit, the horse who won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, was so unwanted as a colt that he was once purchased for $1,000.

The Kentucky Derby will play 'My Old Kentucky Home' before Saturday’s race, despite complaints from race activists.

'It is a very sad day in this country when innocent animals are slaughtered and abused due to greed and hate.'
