That=s an avalanche of an odds shift considering the Derby=s single-race straight and exotic pools annually hover near $125 million, making the race far and away the highest-volume pari-mutuel event of the year in the United States.

The Week in Review (cont. from p1) The All-Pro, Super Bowl-winning tight end may be a favorite passing target of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Yet the human Gronk=s presence in Louisville will represent an even bigger, can=t-miss bulls eye for mainstream media. Gronk not only delivers on the football field, but he=s affable, highly quotable, very active on social media, and just controversial enough to cause mildly sensational stirs without sullying his sport. A veteran of eight seasons, Gronk now stars in video games and television shows, has authored an autobiography, and has even had a breakfast cereal and an energy drink named after him. Up in my neck of the woods here in Boston, he=s a year-round media mainstay who commands off-season coverage in sports sections and celebrity gossip pages alike, and not a day seems to go by without some sort of Gronk chronicle, whether it=s photos of him smilingly visiting children Gronkowski | Racing Post in hospitals or partying wildly (and often shirtless) at the trendiest nightclubs. In case you=ve been living under a rock, the reason for all this Brady and his entourage have been Derby-day regulars on attention is because the horse is named in honor of Rob Millionaire=s Row for years now, and you perhaps recall the zany Gronkowski, the larger-than-life, highly animated National plaid-suit-and-sunglasses look Gronk sported when he raucously Football League star. Fueling the frenzy, the human Gronk just attended the Derby in 2015. Now returning to Louisville with an last week bought a minority ownership interest in the ownership interest, Gronk the athlete is bound to be more of a British-based colt, who recently earned an invite to start at charismatic draw in the paddock than his equine Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May by winning the namesake, making him an irresistible magnet for network European Road to the Kentucky Derby points series. television crews seeking A-list sound bites.

and will be facing one of the deepest Derby fields in years. Any rational handicapper would have a difficult case justifying his chances at below 80-1 based on all the unknowns in his form and the fact that he has to ship across an ocean to race over an unproven surface/distance in the most pressure-packed and chaotic two minutes the sport has to offer on this side of the Atlantic. None of this is meant as a knock against the horse. Gronkowski may be a bona fide long shot, but he earned his spot in the race, and we all know that long shots taking a chance in the Derby represent aspirations and dreams that fuel real-life participation in the sport. I can even appreciate the undeniable marketing wallop Gronk=s presence will deliver in terms of legitimizing how cool Thoroughbred ownership--or even just a day at the races-- can be. But I remain floored by the potential that this narrative The 2018 Kentucky Derby trophies | Horsephotos has to skew the betting. If you want to wager on any other horse, it=s likely the entire rest of the pari-mutuel market will be Gronkowski (the horse) has never run on dirt nor beyond a on sale by a few percentage points. mile, and the British competition he=s beaten in four straight The echo chamber of social media amplifying easily digestible races has largely consisted of non-Classic caliber foes and even story lines is a relatively new phenomenon, but it=s clearly going one three-horse field. Since his connections committed to the to have an effect on this and future Derbies. race, he=s been ranked No. 20 on the last two weekly We saw a hint of it last year, when Patch (Union Rags) went installments of the TDN Derby Top 20. His chances aren=t zilch in off at 14-1 instead of the 45-1 or so odds that represented his the Derby, but he=s certainly up against the grain of convention truer chances of winning. Here was a horse who had started TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 10 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • APRIL 23, 2018 only three times, had never won a two-turn race, drew post 20, and was ridden by a first-time Derby jockey. Yet by Derby day, every casual fan in the country knew the oft-repeated inspirational story about how Patch was trying to succeed as a racehorse despite being blind in his left eye, and people weren=t just rooting for him to overcome that adversity--they were backing that feel-good sentiment with real money, and it showed noticeably on the tote board (Patch finished 14th).

Patch became a fan favorite last year and was bet down to 14-1 odds in the Kentucky Derby | Coady photo

There=s a separate irony to the Gronk tale, too: Churchill Downs rolled out its seven-race European Road to the Derby series in an attempt to generate overseas interest in America=s most famous horse race. Yet unintentionally, the luring of the two Gronkowskis is going to pay far greater dividends here in the States than any other type of marketing gimmick the track might have cooked up to generate domestic interest. You can't buy that type of hype. But you shouldn't bet on it, either. Supreme Court Decision >Overdue= Perhaps in the future, bettors who want to bank on Gronkowski in a race like the Derby will be able to make a parlay wager that links to Gronk=s team=s chances in the Super Bowl. That possibility was mentioned in a roundabout way at last Thursday=s California Board (CHRB) meeting, when CHRB executive director Rick Baedeker gave a report that detailed some of the regulatory items that were discussed at the recent Association of Racing Commissioners International (ARCI) meeting in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Baedeker reported that the ARCI consensus seemed to be that the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS)=s decision on the legality of sports betting was Areally overdue at this point.@ TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 10 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • APRIL 23, 2018

SCOTUS heard oral arguments to decide Christie v. National Collegiate Athletic Association back on Dec. 4, and at the time, many legal experts had predicted a decision by March. The landmark case will have far-reaching reverberations within the Thoroughbred industry because the showdown in the nation=s highest court between the state of New Jersey and America=s collegiate and professional sports leagues will either affirm or reject the constitutionality of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), which currently prohibits most state-sponsored sports gambling. AThe panel interpreted [the delay] as probably meaning that the Supreme Court is going to make a major decision here, not just simply relative to New Jersey,@ Baedeker said. ANobody knows for sure, of course. Then there was the question about the interaction between sports betting and racing. Somebody talked about the possibilities of combining different parlay wagersYwith perhaps other sporting events, and then culminating with a major race at a racetrack, and who in that instance would regulate something like that. So it=s a fascinating discussion--and one that I=m guessing we=ll be spending some time on in the not-too-distant future.@

Nessy | Benoit photo

Well-rated under Hall of Fame pilot Mike Smith, Nessy lagged in the early stages before sliding up the rail to secure an ideal tracking spot nestled behind the leaders through a mile in 1:37.54. He was patiently handled as the field cornered for home, tipped out and launched a sustained rally to grind past hard-trying pacesetter A Red Tie Day and claim the victory. AThis race is all for Ed [Hudon of Sierra Farm],@ said Wilkes. AThe horses went slow enough where he had to beat them, but he=s a cool horse. He=s getting better, that=s the whole thing about it. He=s improving, he=s just five. He=s still a young horse at this stage for this game, because if we stay in business, he=ll get better as we go on.@ Smith added, AI was so happy to be able to ride for Ian. We go way back, to when he was working for Carl Nafzger in Chicago.@ Nessy, a full-brother to GI Canadian International S. hero Bullards Alley who suffered a catastrophic injury during the running of Saturday=s GII Dixiana Elkhorn S. at Keeneland and was subsequently euthanized, entered the San Juan Capistrano off three consecutive graded stakes placings. Second in the GIII Sycamore S. at Keeneland last October, he returned from a brief layup to complete the exacta again in the GIII William L. McKnight H. at Gulfstream Jan. 27. He was last seen running third in the GII Mac Diarmida S. in Hallandale Mar. 3.

Pedigree Notes: In addition to Bullards Alley, Nessy is also a full brother to GSW Karibu Gardens.
