In the early part of last year’s racing season, Kathleen took two Irish girls from Ballybunion, County Kerry, who were working at the hotel for the summer to the races. They put a sentimental bet on a young horse with good odds named “Dublin” and were handsomely rewarded when the horse won. At the end of the Saratoga meet, Dublin won the Hopeful Stakes. Now D. Wayne Lucas is talking about running Dublin in the Kentucky Derby. I bet Paddy Power will take a few more sentimental bets.
