O.J. picks Tiago, jokes that he'll 'avoid' queen
Horse Racing - MSNBC.com: "LOUISVILLE, Ky. - If O.J. Simpson picked it, here’s how the Kentucky Derby would end: Tiago at the wire.
“I’m just loving Kentucky this week,” Simpson said on a rainy Thursday morning on the backstretch. “It’s just a great time.”
Simpson made his fourth straight trip to Churchill Downs since being acquitted of murder charges in the June 1994 slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman. Simpson made several visits in the 1970s and said he used to think about owning a Derby horse."
“I used to be in the horse business a little bit with (billionaire horse owner) Wayne Hughes,” said Simpson, who chatted while he checked out Philadelphia-bred Hard Spun. “We had some horses together back in California.”Simpson, a former Heisman Trophy winner, said he was friends with Tiago jockey Mike Smith, and that the horse’s bloodlines make him a favorite pick for the NFL Hall of Famer. Tiago is the half brother of Giacomo, the 2005 longshot winner. more
