Dick Jerardi

He's won the Saudi Cup twice.

So, yeah, Japanese horses are going to break through and win the Derby.

And for me, I hope it's this year because I like the non-Burban, the 7.

He is a Japanese-owned, trained, and ridden horse, but he's a Kentucky Brit.

He's a son of Maxfield.

It was a really good horse.

Ran in Kentucky a number of years ago.

I just think the videos of his three races in Japan have been awesome.

The unknown, of course, is first trip to America.

The trainer and the jockey have no familiarity at all with the Derby, so you're taking a little bit of a chance there.

But

he's hanging around 13, 14, 15 to one at bet online.

So I do like the price.

Yeah, I think different, different horses, different ways.

So like the, um,

He actually came from Japan, eventually got to Chicago, and then took a van from there to Louisville.

So, yeah, that's a long trip for sure.

But they have ways of getting resources to relax on these long trips.

And sometimes relaxing is okay.

Sometimes they'll give them a tranquilizer just so they don't act up or go nuts on the plane.
