Probably the coolest nugget is, and it's going to be a big storyline in the Derby, and it has been all spring long, is a horse named Cold Battle. who is trained by Lonnie Briley. If you've never heard of Lonnie Briley, no one else who follows the sport of horse racing had really heard of Lonnie Briley either until a few months ago.

He's a 72-year-old guy, calls himself a coon ass from Louisiana, never had a graded stakes horse of any kind before, much less a Kentucky Derby horse. And Lonnie's here with Cole Battle, who's You know, legitimately a decent three-year-old. He's going to be 20 to 1, 25 to 1. But, I mean, here's a guy that's, like, been a media darling back here just because –

He's just, it's like a kid in a candy store. He's never been here before. It's actually very stressful for him. Bob Baffert has really taken a liking to him. And Bob wanted to do a selfie with him. And Lonnie said, why do you want to do a selfie with old coot-ass like me? And Bob said, I want to send it to my kids. And Lonnie was just, oh, he just couldn't believe it.

And Bob was joking with his wife about how nice that old man Lonnie Briley was. And Jill, his wife, said, oh, man, you're as old as he is. And so Bob had to go to Wikipedia. They're about the same age. Bob didn't like that. I love it.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. So is there any chance this year? Probably just because this is the year that I'm getting off Japanese. Two years ago, Dervis Sotagaki, I think I told you, I thought he had a hell of a chance to win. Didn't get out of the gate. Wound up later in the year running second in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Last year, Forever Young.

He's one of, if not the best dirt horses in the world right now. He probably should have won the Kentucky Derby last year. He got beat ahead in the nose and was interfered with the length of the stretch. This year, Luxor Cafe is the best of the two Japanese horses. He doesn't look to be as good as Forever Young, at least in terms of the analytics, the final times, and stuff like that.

You go back and watch his last race in Japan, you can see it on YouTube. And it's like, whoa, boy, did that look good. But... Who did he run against? We don't really know. So bottom line, I'm getting off the Japanese this year, so this will be the year they'll probably win.

He's got a long shot chance to hit the board. Grande is the horse's name. It looked like Todd Pletcher and Mike Rapoli weren't going to have anything in the Kentucky Derby this year, and then suddenly Grande steps up and runs second in the Wood Memorial. He was wide on both turns, especially the first turn. So you've got to move him up a little bit. He's got a pretty good number.
