Description:
Every spring, horse lovers flock to Lexington, Ky., during the last weekend of April, and this year is no different. A week before the Kentucky Derby takes place about 75 miles to the west, the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event kicks off a busy few weeks for equestrians in the Bluegrass from April 27-30.
It’s been five years since an off-the-track Thoroughbred (OTTB) won Rolex — Parklane Hawk provided rider William Fox-Pitt with the blue ribbon in 2012 — but the 10 OTTBs currently entered will try to end that drought this year.
