Leno's doing a segment at the Derby on Monday's Tonight Show. A comedian named Jim Norton is interviewing people like Baffert and John Velazquez pre-Derby for suggestions on how to pick the winner. He also hits up some Derby parties like Barnstable Brown. It seemed like he genuinely turned a bunch of hunch bets into a Derby pick of Animal Kingdom, but I suppose they could've edited it so it looked like he won. I'm not sure he's that good an actor though, he seemed pretty surprised, so I tend to think he did pick AK. He congratulated JV post-race.
