LEXINGTON, Ky- Benny Snell has met his spirit animal. The former Kentucky running back made his first trip out to the Keeneland today to see the two-year old colt Snell Yeah, who was named after Benny by co-owner and lifelong UK fan Scott Stephens.
Snell Yeah was scratched from his race today due to a mild cough.
Watch below for Benny’s reaction.

No question @benny_snell is one of the most popular athletes in the state of Kentucky. So much so that there is a horse named after him. Benny is expected to meet the 2 year old colt today or tomorrow. #SnellYeah pic.twitter.com/SmGbeT07Ig
