THIS DAY IN SPORTS HISTORY- MAY 2

Swale runs for Woody

35 years ago this weekend Laffit Pincay Jr. riding Swale won the Kentucky Derby for 71-year-old trainer Woody Stephens. Stephens was released from the hospital the morning of the race and as Swale crossed the finish line TV cameras captured him hugging his doctor in a memorable Derby moment.
