On Saturday, the farm staff took some time off to watch Lucky Pulpit’s most famous offspring make a successful Run for the Roses, becoming the first California-bred since Decidedly in 1962 to win. Someone had the foresight to videotape the horse division crew watching the Derby telecast and California Chrome’s thrilling victory. McGlothlin (with mustache, standing on the left side of the group) is among the celebrants.
