But just before the Derby the reporter went up to these guys, who were imprisoned by Castro, and said to one of them, "I know you don't speak much English" to which the guy said, and I quote,
"GOD AND FREEDOM!"
To which the reporter didn't seem to know what to say.
The rest of the article details how they were oppressed by Castro, how one spent years in labor camps because he was concerned how Castro would take over the education of his children. The other was a doctor who treated the soldiers, and spent years in prison for that crime.
That's enough English for me.
The stories around this particular Derby were inspiring in many ways. These two men surely had some dramatic story. I loved the 80+ year old trainer who went to the Derby for the first time. And, so sad about 8 Bells; her owners/trainers/jockey have to be devastated amidst all the joy.
