How To Help The Retired Racehorses
Old Friends, a retirement and rescue facility for pensioned thoroughbreds in Georgetown, Ky., opened in 2002 around the time Kentucky Derby winner Ferdinand was killed in a slaughterhouse in Japan. Since, it has provided a place for former champions to live out their days.
Old Friends' retired champions include Sunshine Forever and Ogygian. Check out bios of the horses and the Old Friends photo gallery.
For more information, watch the report by CBS News correspondent Richard Schlesinger or visit Old Friends yourself.
