Posted this here instead of up top because it's as political as horseracing related...I find it ironic that the folks behind KFC (documented to be cruel and inhumane in their treatment of chickens) would put up a stupid bonus like this...no self-respecting trainer or jock would use up a horse in the Derby to win this...and they name it in honor of Barbaro! Yum Yum really doesn't get it!

The commentators felt the same way- they talked about what a terrible idea it was. I imagine the Yum Yum brass were not pleased. Hope they scrap it. I'm sure they will.
