SUPER BOWL MVP DREW BREES GOING TO THE DERBY?
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010While he joined the long line of NFL stars who have followed a Super Bowl victory with the iconic phrase "I’m going to Disney World", it appears the Saints quarterback may have plans on the First Saturday in May. That is if all breaks well.
Brees is part of an ownership group that also includes Jimmy Buffett and several members of the Monday Night Football crew who own gelding Daddy Forty Nine. The 3-year-old could run in the Louisiana Derby. While he has won three starts, the son of Ghostzapper finished a disappointing fourth in a recent Monday race at the Fairgrounds.
Is it possible? Absolutely. But probable? We’re a little less optimistic about that. But what great publicity it would be for such a high profile star coming off a Super Bowl victory to be involved in racing’s biggest day.
