One of the most heartwarming stories at the 150th Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve involved the connections of West Saratoga. Owner Harry Veruchi and trainer Larry Demeritte have a relationship that goes back decades finding good horses at low cost and developing them into winners, and Veruchi’s $11,000 purchase West Saratoga brought the pair along with colleagues, family, and friends to Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May.
West Saratoga received a lot of support from fans rooting for Demeritte, who is battling cancer, and while the colt didn’t win the Derby, he helped set the stage for an unforgettable experience.
