Churchill Downs Mystery

Hello my dear friends. As you may have heard "I'll Have Another" won the 138th Kentucky Derby on Saturday. What you may not have heard is later that night police found the body of a 48-year old Guatemalan man in Barn #8 (not far from where "I'll have Another" was stabled) who had been murdered! Now, the victim hasn't been tied to the race in anyway BUT his 19-year old son does work at the track. Police have declared it a homicide and are still  investigating. The exact cause of death has not been released. Last year following the Derby, the body of jockey Michael Baze was found in a vehicle near the track's stables. They called that death an accidental overdose. Quite a coincidence, wouldn't you say? That's not even the most shocking news! It seems that people actually live in small apartments above some of the barns! And I thought litter box odor was an issue! Yikes! As a matter of fact, at any given time as many as 200 people live at Church Hill Downs. Some live in dorms on the edge of the property and some in those upper barn apartment. Who knew? I don't think I would want to live above a barn full of horses in Kentucky. Well, I wouldn't want to live in a barn above horses anywhere but especially in Kentucky. Anyway, we'll have to wait for more details before we can unravel the mystery of the latest post-derby death at Church Hill Downs.
