Kentucky: Day Three - Claiborne Farms

Claiborne Farm is a breeding farm for previous Derby runners and also where Secretariat stayed and was eventually buried.  Very fascinating and we got to see a Derby winner!  This is the 2013 winner Orb.  

This is War Front, an 80 million dollar horse.  The breeding is where the true money is.  It costs $150,000 to breed to him, and he could breed up to 100 times a year.

Ava feeding War Front a peppermint.  They love those.  

This is Blame.  They taught him how to stick his tongue out.  

Lots of famous horses have stayed here and been buried here.
