The Santa Cruz County Derby

The date is Sunday May 3, 2009. The time is 5 pm. All 8 horses are being saddled and led to the track. Denhams Hero, who broke the track record at Saffard and was the fastes qualifier to the derby, makes his way calmly onto track.

After a warm-up lap around the track, one by one, the horses are loaded into the starting gates. The race is 350 yards long and from the get-go guess who is in front?
It's Denhams Hero! (see him there on the right) And he takes it all! Woo-Hoo!!! It was quite exciting!
