Gov. Jones had boyhood dream to own and race horses

Just a sample of what I got today during and after the Kentucky Oaks winners press conference... I'm leaving the track now and will update more this evening.

Former Kentucky Governor Brereton Jones was asked if he was more anxious when he watched his filly Proud Spell make the stretch run in the Kentucky Oaks today or when he watched election returns in 1991, the year he was elected Governor.

"I would would say, in all honesty -- this may sound crazy -- probably the stretch today," he said. "Because this was a boyhood dream, I didn't have a boyhood dream to be Governor, I had a boyhood dream to race horses in Kentucky and somehow I got into politics because I wanted to contribute and do my share," he said.

"Politics gets pretty old in a hurry and horse never get old," he said.
