Third Time Derby Champion: Big Balls
Many say it takes a lot of guts to compete for a Third Time Derby championship, and the aptly named winner of this weekend’s race has proven just that.
Congratulations to Solmate Stables and its racehorse Big Balls for taking down this weekend’s big race, and as a result, a massive $275 first-place purse prize.
Go big, or go home, that’s what we always say.
