Hot Off the Press: Kentucky Derby edition -- Part II

This morning's main hed is a sly reference to one of Louisville's biggest private employers -- perhaps its biggest of all: Overnight delivery service UPS, often known by its nickname, Big Brown. Indeed, the thoroughbred was named for UPS, which in turn sponsored him for the 134th Run for the Roses. Big Brown is owned by IEAH Stables and Paul Pompa Jr., who also owns Truck-Rite Corp. in Brooklyn, N.Y.
