Body found at Kentucky Derby track [01:00]
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Police say they are investigating a body found in the stable area of Churchill Downs the morning after the Kentucky Derby as a homicide. But there is no connection to Kentucky Derby winner I'll Have Another. Louisville Metro Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley also said Sunday the death didn't appear to have any association with Churchill Downs. That's the historic Louisville track that on Saturday saw a record attendance of more than 165000 for the 138th running of the Derby. Smiley says the body was found inside a barn just four barns away from where I'll Have Another was kept. The Derby winner and his trainers were busy with post-Derby media activities Sunday morning, with little talk of the activity at the barn about 150 yards away.

A historic Cheltenham Gold Cup took place in 1983 when Bregawn won the coveted race. March 17, 1983 marks one of the most extraordinary training achievement in the history of the Cheltenham Gold Cup. The first five horses home, led by Bregawn, followed by Captain John, Wayward Lad, Silver Buck and Ashley House all travelled to Cheltenham from the same stable at Dunkeswick in Yorkshire where they were trained by Michael Dickinson, in only his third season as a trainer. The jockey who steered Bregawn to victory on the day was Graham Bradley and the horse was owned by James Kennelly.
