His sire, Saggy, was an undistinguished racer whose stud fee was only $400 and whose sole claim to fame was that he had once beaten Citation. His dam, Joppy, never won at all, and sold for $300-$150 in cash, the rest an unpaid $150 board bill. Yet, as he paraded to the post for the 87th Kentucky Derby last week, Carry Back already had earned $492,368, was up on the tote board...
