(KGTV) - Are jars of poop from the 1997 Kentucky Derby winner being sold in jars for $200 a pop?

Yes.

An artist collected the droppings of former winner Silver Charm and preserved them in jars with a clear epoxy resin.

They're now being sold for $200 as "Derby Turds."

Part of the proceeds will go to the Kentucky home for retired thoroughbreds where Silver Charm now lives.

The website suggests you pass the poop along to future generations as a family heirloom.
