Empire Maker
|
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Watching Empire Maker jogging over the racetrack shortly after dawn on Thursday morning was a welcome sight for his legion of supporters. Doesn't have the prettiest way of going when he jogs but he moved along willingly and seemingly unaffected by the foot bruise which has had the entire racing world holding their collective breaths over the past 48 hours.
