Kentucky Derby Contenders: Colonel John

Surely, even a Kentucky Derby horse likes to know he looks good and that he's doing a good job. Here's what trainer Eoin Harty had to say about Colonel John (following his Sham Stakes win):

"He's a very easy horse to keep fit," Harty said. "He does not carry a lot of excess weight and puts a lot into his works."
