    By Chuck Harper

    Webster’s Dictionary defines destiny as “the hidden power believed to control what will happen in the future; fate.”
    The 139th running of the Kentucky Derby will have no short supply of destiny.

    Kentucky Derby 139 and the 2013 NCAA Tournament have some interesting things in common.
