Will we see the Ole Ball Coach, Steve Spurrier, compete in the upcoming Kentucky Derby? Well, maybe not him exactly, but perhaps someone or some animal using his likeness might. Wizard of Odds has more:

But (John) Fort saw something and immediately named the colt Spurrier. “I thought it was a good name for a colt from South Carolina. Everybody is proud to have him as our coach, and I am a tremendous fan of his.”

Fort said Spurrier was “extremely laid-back, kind of sleepy when we put him into training.” But trainer Todd Pletcher, who won the 2007 Belmont with Rags to Riches, has been working his magic.

As of now, Spurrier the Horse isn’t part of the field for horse racing’s crown jewel. However, with some upcoming races on his schedule, he still has an opportunity.

Stumble it!
