With its odds currently set [2] at 9-2, Union Rags is nearly tied with Bodemeister at 4-1 as one of the favorites heading into horse racing's most prestigious event — the Kentucky Derby. Union Rags, a promising three-year-old colt, is owned by Phyllis Wyeth, a member of the famed Wyeth family who spent years living and painting in the Pine Tree state starting with N.C. Wyeth [3] and carried on by his son Andrew [4] and grandson Jamie [5], who is Phyllis' husband.
