08:21 AM ET 04.27 | Kentucky does a few things pretty well, and a certain title-winning coach may find himself at the intersection of both this coming weekend. The back stretch of a race track is always percolating with rumors. Here is the best one that I heard at Churchill Downs on Thursday morning: Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari will in the paddock for the Derby on May 5. And his assignment will be more than to mingle. Word is that Calipari will deliver the "Riders Up!" command to jockeys for the greatest two minutes in sports. Sounds like another perfect TV moment for Cal -- as well as for NBC.
