Before heading south, we drove around to see the horse farms around Winchester and Paris. We saw the Horse Training Farm and Claiborne Horse Farm.
This photo was taken with Monarchos, winner of the 2001 Kentucky Derby. We were allowed to pet him while visiting the Claiborne Stud Farm. He has brought in over $8 million in stud fees since winning the race. He is a beautiful horse.
Claiborne Farm is also where you will find the grave of the great Secretariat, 1973 Triple Crown winner (and considered by many to be the greatest race horse of all time).
