So who’s my favorite in this years derby? It’s got to be “Homeboykris”. No fancy name here, It just seems like a horse that is all about keeping it real.
For those of you that thought horse racing isn’t physical enough to be called a sport, just try being the horse! You try running around the track with a little man on your back beating you until you cross that finish line.

Now let’s take a second to talk about the real derby. Many have “Lookin at Lucky” as a favorite after they drew the one slot for the big race. On the opposite side of the track is “Sidney’s Candy” (I’ll never understand why people name their horses these crazy names)
Oh yeah, isn’t this horse owned by Jenny Craig (or something like that)? If so, how did the name “Sidney’s Candy” get picked? I would have expected something like “Sidney’s protein shake” instead.
