The Kentucky Derby was a few days away, and Rock was back in the barns at Churchill Downs, seated in an old, flimsy aluminum folding chair in front of several contenders.
Bertrando, a tall white colt with yellow splotches, was among them and stood out for Rock in size alone. His head was particularly enormous.
It was late in the afternoon and Rock watched as Bertrando stretched out in front of him until his head was beside the chair. The colt then leaned it against Rock's left shoulder and closed his eyes and was almost instantly asleep.
