Since that time, three more 3-year-olds bred by Brereton Jones, either singly or in partnership, have raced in the Kentucky Derby. Jones, in partnership with Warnerton Farms, Desert Wine was the first product of his father’s breeding program to race in the Kentucky Derby (G1) at Churchill Downswhere he’s second to Sunny’s Halo. The boy was about 4 years old, wearing a T-shirt that declared, “I like Airdrie-bred.”Īlthough his parents were more selective in clothing than he was at that age, his family’s love of horses is understandable. Bret Jones recalls a photo taken in the spring of 1983.
