Wide receiver Wes Welker had quite the excitement-filled Kentucky Derby weekend last year, with a big betting score later dampened by a two-game suspension triggered by a positive test for MDMA.
Lost in the shuffle, though, was that Welker’s horse, Undrafted, was a solid second in the Twin Spires Turf Sprint Stakes the day before the Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, earning $32,170 in prize money.
Well, Undrafted is back to contest the same race in Louisville this Friday, and he’s the 7-to-2 second betting choice on the morning line in the $150,000 stakes.
