Well sure.. but... Co-owned by Star City farmer Lance Gasaway, Mystik Dan survived a late charge by Sierra Leone and Forever Young to win the first leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown at Louisville, Ky., on Saturday in a photo finish. Gasaway, a former wide receiver at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, is part of the 4G Racing ownership team, which includes his cousin Brent Gasaway, Brent’s wife Sharilyn Gasaway and Daniel Hamby III.

So, Arkansas owned won the Derby, ... Stole ye Derby, Ya Coach, and Ya Players.
