Homeboykris training up to Kentucky Derby

Dutrow said his other top 3-year-old, Homeboykris, will train up to the Kentucky Derby. Winner of the Champagne Stakes last fall and third-place finisher in the Remsen, Homeboykris's only race this year was a second-place finish to Radiohead in a Feb. 27 allowance race.

"I'm not going to run him back until then because I'm afraid he'll blow his race," Dutrow said. "The first time we run him it was off a three-month break, and he ran huge."

This is hilarious. If this actually happens, what would his odds be on Derby day? He would have to be the longest shot in the field. 90-1 at least.
Dutrow can't actually think this horse wants a mile and a quarter, especially running off a 3-month layoff in a 20 horse field.
