COMMENTS: No Stallion but Colt is Longshot
ABC anchor Charles Gibson handed off his habitual Person of the Week duties to Chris Bury in Louisville where we enjoyed a preview of the Kentucky Derby. Bury profiled a local retired school principal, Thomas McCarthy, who has watched the race each year from the Churchill Downs grandstand since 1955. This time he will be a participant rather than a spectator. His stable has a single horse, General Quarters, purchased in a claiming race last year for $20,000. McCarthy's outsider has already won the Blue Grass Stakes and is now entered in the Run for the Roses. Confusingly, Bury called the colt "a stallion." Gibson set his odds at shorter than 30-1, longer than 18-1.
