3M sponsors Kentucky Derby horse Mucho Macho Man

by Cathy Wurzer, Minnesota Public Radio

When a big, dark horse breaks out of post position #13 at the Kentucky Derby this Saturday, Minnesota-based 3M hopes it will be a lucky run for the colt called Mucho Macho Man.

One of his owners, Patti Reeves, used to work for 3M and in a first time for the firm, it is sponsoring the horse in the derby, and will continue to do so if he goes on to run in the other triple crown races.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Patti Reeves about Mucho Macho Man and Saturday's race.
