In case you missed it, a horse owned by Jerry Moss was a huge upset winner at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
Giacomo (pronounced JOCK-a-mo) beat 19 other horses at 50-1 odds. He paid an astounding $102 to win on a $2 bet and was the second-longest shot ever to win the Derby.
Moss, of course, is the "M" in the A&M label that launched the Carpenters to stardom in the 70s.
Unfortunately, I did not bet the horse as I was unaware of the Carpenters connection until after the race. But I was lucky enough to draw Giacomo's name in an office pool that netted me a cool $170.
