And 3 Auto Tosses to boot + El Padrino.

200k for the .50 cent pick 4. I wonder if that winner played on twinspires because they will also get 1 million points which they can redeem for 1000 dollars. Big Bonus!

Hero of Order is not Triple Crown nominated. No KY Derby for him unless fewer than 20 enter, and they pay $200,000. I believe there are 4 places on the AE list for the Derby, and I'm sure every single one will be filled with a TC nom'd horse, so I doubt his connections even entertain it.

I just realized that his sire is Sharp Humor who, per the Stallion Register, is now in Korea. Hmm.

Unless the trainer doesnt know the rules, he was asked on HRTV if he is going and he said "of course".

Isn't that just the late nom fee? Would've been a lot cheaper if they'd done it awhile back.

How did he phrase it? Did the interviewer say "are you going" or "is the horse going" or what? The trainer might not have meant Hero of Order. Might've just meant that he scored some good seats at Churchill.
