Kentucky-bred horse picks Florida to defeat Wildcats
In sports, it’s nothing new to have animals to make picks for different matchups. On Friday evening, the SEC Network decided to have some fun and got some video of a Kentucky-bred horse at Spend Thrift Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, making the pick for Saturday’s rivalry matchup between the Wildcats and the Florida Gators. Unfortunately for UK fans, the horse betrayed the fans from their own state, deciding to go with the Florida Gators.
Check out the video below as the horse eats the carrot with the Florida Gators wrapping on it first.
Kentucky is ready to go on a Gator hunt. On Friday, the program posted a pregame hype video ahead of the Wildcats’ matchup with the No. 22 Florida on Saturday.
Kentucky enters the matchup still undefeated, most recently taking down Vanderbilt 45-28 in its season opener. The ‘Cats aren’t the only ones who are hot. The Florida Gators will march into Lexington with three-straight wins, including an upset over No. 11 Tennessee in Week 3.
Fans expect a battle. In 2018, Mark Stoops broke Kentucky’s 31-year win drought against Florida. Since then, UK is 2-2 against UF, winning the last two meetings.
The two teams will square off at noon ET on Saturday. The Wildcats are set to sport blue helmets, blue jerseys, and blue pants when they host the Gators at Kroger Field. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
Tim Tebow previews Florida-Kentucky game
Although Kentucky boasts wins in the programs’ last two meetings, Tim Tebow believes Saturday’s matchup will be a toss-up. After all, the two teams will be vying for position on the SEC East ladder. On Friday, Tebow explained on The Paul Finebaum Show why the game is so important to both teams.
“It’s a really important game for both teams,” Tebow said. “You look at this opportunity in the East: who’s going to really challenge Georgia in the East. Both these teams have a chance. And you’re looking at Missouri, they have another SEC game and they have a chance to be able to be 5-0.
“Every team’s got the opportunity to take that next spot. But this is going to be a really fascinating one because they’re also very similar. Both teams really good running the ball. Both teams really good against the run.”
