After popping molly at last year’s Kentucky Derby, Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker — and his pink pants and white fedora — returned to Churchill Downs this week to watch his horse, Undrafted, compete at today’s Twin Spires Turf Print Stakes.

Unfortunately for Wes, Undrafted came up short to finish second for the second consecutive year:

However, despite the loss, second-place still does get paid, so hopefully his former Patriots teammates got in on the action:

Sidenote: is that Matt Cassell next to the oversized blazer?
