Welcome to ABR’s Pigskins and Ponies column, where winners play!
Horse racing is my means to an end, and I love the sport like no other, but I admit it, like most of you, on a Sunday afternoon in the fall, it’s hard to pull me away from my couch … and NFL RedZone.
I have a wanted sign in Las Vegas and am feared by fantasy football mavens nationwide, but when it comes to the college game, I choose to punt.
That’s where Derek Cooley comes in. The dude is a loaded gun of university knowledge.

Jim Cornes is a lucky man. Lucky to be alive. Lucky to have lived such an incredible life. And he knows it. His eyes often fill with tears as he recollects his journey from a hot walker to the glorious world of international racing and his return to the United States. Through it all, it has always been about the horses.
