Jeff Ruby is an enthusiastic horse racing fan and his fortune is such that he sponsors a race with his name that is included in the qualifying route to the Derby held at the Turfway Park Racecourse, won this year by Two Phil’s, second to a length from Mage in the Derby. To advertise it and with a play on words, instead of being called the Jeff Ruby Stakes, the event is known as Jeff Ruby Steaks, which means steak in English.
