$1 Million Derby Bonus
Yum! Brands is apparently going to give a bonus if the winner wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths. The million will be divided evenly between the owner, trainer, jockey, and a charity. The charity this year is the Barbaro Fund. Interesting idea.
Here's the link. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18400076/ |

you neglected to mention that its being called the yumfecta, since yum! foods is the sponsor.

They are really going out on a limb.
I'll give the winner a million bucks if his rider carries a seltzer bottle instead of a whip. |

I'd insure that bet for $100, because there's about a 1 in 10,000 chance of that happening.

what i'd like them to do is replace a jockey in the derby with that little chihuaha (sp?) that used to star in the taco bell commercials. perhaps on a pletcher horse. |

typically i dont really consider riders, but is the derby one of those races that having a pressure rider might make a difference? I guess maybe not, stuart elliot won the dang thing.

Without Googling, who was the voice for the Chihuaha in those commercials? Somewhat known actor, at least in a TV show (comedy), and a movie spinoff from the show... |

I imagine when Juan Leyva is up by 5 at the 1/16, he'll go to his strong left hand just to get the bonus.

The only obstacle to my Juan Leyva strong left hand whip theory is that I don't believe Juan Leyva has a left hand, at least I don't recall ever seeing him use it. |

Has a nice ring to it. Maybe the winning owner gets a $1million worth of the "warming" jelly. |
