Kentucky Derby Betting: Tom McCarthy's Derby dream

US Racing RSS / Editor / 02 May 2009 / Leave a comment

Get the low down on the feel good Derby story of 2009...

Tom McCarthy's Derby dream is still alive with General Quarters trading at [23.0] for a victory which would provide a perfect ending to a remarkable story.

Seventy-five-year-old ex-school teacher and cancer survivor McCarthy, who has only this horse in training, regretted not buying General Quarters in the sales ring but got another chance when claiming him at Churchill Downs for only $20k. He has since won the Blue Grass at Keenland.

If he wins tonight there won't be a dry eye in the house.
