ESPN College GameDay host Kirk Herbstreit was very excited on Twitter Sunday, and it had nothing to do with college football.
Herbstreit’s horse Soul Streit won in race four Sunday at the Del Mar Racetrack in California. It was the first race for Herbstreit as an owner, giving him a perfect start to his career.
An impressive start to your ownership career! 🏇🏆 pic.twitter.com/BagFmGW8DD
