Default Bodexpress made it onto "Jeopardy"

(no, not as a contestant)

Bodexpress was part of a question/answer on Friday's "Jeopardy" game, in the category "Weird Sports Stuff":

"Bodexpress didn't win this 2019 race, the second in the Triple Crown, but did finish--not bad for running with no jockey."

The first player to buzz in answered "What is the Kentucky Derby?", but the next player got it right.

I saw that too, pretty cool! There have been a couple references to horse racing in Jeopardy recently that were "inside-y" in subtle ways to make me think there's a fan among the writing staff.

I caught a John Henry reference in 'El Camino' last night...
