Ankeny Horse
Representing Central Iowa at Kentucky Derby
Nationally, the derby comes off a Triple Crown year for the
first time in decades.
Locally, Albaugh Family Stables out of Ankeny
Brody's Cause won the Kentucky Bluegrass Stakes and those
who follow horse racing closely give Brody's Cause a good shot to win the Derby
“To know that I got a horse into the Kentucky Derby, that was
the mission when we started getting into the horse business,” said Denny
Albaugh of Albaugh Family Stables. “I think it might have changed (now) to
winning the Kentucky Derby."

Ankeny billionaire Dennis Albaugh and his wife, Susan, say if
their horse, Brody's Cause, wins the 142nd "Run for the Roses" this
Saturday, they'll give the $500,000 prize to DMACC.
Right now Brody's Cause has a "12-to-1" shot to win
the race. That's the fifth-best odds in the 17-horse field.
Albaugh graduated from DMACC in 1972.
“This pledge combines two of my passions: DMACC and horse
racing. It also offers another opportunity for me to share my successes with
the College that started me on my career path many years ago. I wouldn’t be
where I am today without my DMACC education. I’m proud to say DMACC is my
university," he said.
Brody’s Cause is owned by the Albaugh Family Stables.
Coverage of the Kentucky Derby begins at 3 p.m. Saturday on WHO
TV.
