Radiohead To Win Kentucky Derby?

Radiohead, a horse named after everyone’s favourite indie heroes, has been given odds of 20/1 to win The Kentucky Derby.
Rick Dutrow Jr, the horse’s trainer, has even admitted that the three year old chestnut colt has assumed the band’s persona. "He'll try to take a chance and bite you", he said.
Radiohead’s jockey for the flagship race has yet to be confirmed and wild speculation with no truthful basis whatsoever suggests that Thom Yorke could be mounting the steed on May 1.
Journalists with information wide of the mark are also reporting that Radiohead, the horse, has begun working on an album which he plans to give away as a free download in return for users dropping a donation in his horse box.
Tracks mooted for the long player, titled ‘Kid Neigh’, include:
“Everything In Last Place”
“Nosebag”
“Hay To The Thief”
