Ankeny Horse Representing Central Iowa at Kentucky Derby

POSTED 6:30 PM, MAY 3, 2016, BY STAFF WRITER
ANKENY, Iowa -- There will be extra interest in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, both nationally and locally.
Nationally, the derby comes off a Triple Crown year for the first time in decades.
Locally, Albaugh Family Stables out of Ankeny owns Brody's Cause.
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."


Winnings of Iowa Horse in Kentucky Derby Pledged to DMACC

POSTED 2:58 PM, MAY 3, 2016, BY STAFF WRITER, UPDATED AT 04:23PM, MAY 3, 2016
ANKENY, Iowa -- The owners of a local Kentucky Derby-bound horse announced over the weekend they pledge to give derby winnings to DMACC.
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.
