4/1 (FG): LA Derby, Muniz, New Orleans (G2's)

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.
