Horse Named After Patriots’ Rob Gronkowski Qualifies For Kentucky Derby
Rob Gronkowski is making headlines again, but probably not for the reasons you’re thinking of.
A horse named after the New England Patriots tight end competed in and won the Burradon Stakes in London on Friday. The victory secured Gronkowski, the horse, a spot in this year’s Kentucky Derby.
Gronkowski earned four consecutive victories at the European Road to the Kentucky Derby, according to the Churchill Downs Racetrack communications department.
The Kentucky Derby will take place May 5, and with a victory, Gronkowski and his race team could rake in $2 million.
