Oprah WILL RACE with horses at the 2007 Breeders’ Cup

And mind you, I’m not even kidding.

Yes, Oprah would be one of the contenders racing for Breeders’ Cup betting money beginning this Friday and as interesting as it would be if we’re talking about the same Oprah who has been wasting a whole lot of TV time through the years, unfortunately, we’re not.

Oprah Winney, (and I have a hunch that they got the horse’s name from Oprah Winfrey…) will be one of the horses competing at the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint. I don’t know why her owners gave her that name but I’m just guessing it’s probably from watching too much of the Oprah Winfrey show.

And as expected, Oprah Winney WAS honored at the Oprah Winfrey show last October 23 when they featured segments of the horse’s racing career. What’s that career you ask?

Well for one, Oprah Winney has 14 races under her belt. She just won the Barbara Fritchie Breeders’ Cup H earlier this year coming to the inaugural $1 million Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint on Friday.

And just like Oprah Winfrey, Oprah Winney will be giving 10 percent of her winnings to her favorite charity. Well, her people’s favorite anyway. That’s the Belmont Child Care Association, (BCCA) a non-profit organization that operates Anna House at Belmont Park.

Anna House is an on-site child care center for families of backstretch employees.

The winnings Oprah Winney’s owners would be donation could exceed $50,000, depending on how she will do on Friday. That depends on her jockey, Garrett Gomez of course. Yes, this guy can claim that ”he rode Oprah this weekend.”

Hee hee… It does have a sickening feel to it eh?

Who will win the 2007 Breeders’ Cup Classic? Bodog has the odds.
