african americans own derby horse

C1 3 americans have ownership in...in 13 years.

Lexington businessman ray daniels and bloodstock agent greg harbut say they're two of the three owners of necker island.

Harbut says this is in his genes.

His grandfather...tom.

..owned touch bar...who ran in the 1962 derby.

But listen to this...he couldn't even watch his horse race...because black people weren't allowed to sit in the grandstands.

Harbut says his great- grandfather...will.

..was a legendary groom for man o' war from 1930-1946.

With that lineage in mind...harbut will now watch his own colt race at churchill on september 5th.
