KAY Adams' football knowledge may have helped her pick a Kentucky Derby winner.
The popular host has taken her skills to the track ahead of tomorrow's huge race.
She chatted to jockey Tyler Gaffalione, 29, about the bond he has with Sierra Leone.
"We click together. It's a nice bond, I trust him and he trusts me," he told the Up & Adams host, 38.
"I'm a believer," replied Adams before taking to social media to add more detail.
She said Gaffalione and Sierra Leone's relationship reminds her of Sean Payton and Drew Brees.

The three-year-old colt is among the favourites for glory tomorrow.
And given the former New Orleans Saints quarterback is likely headed straight into the Hall of Fame, the omens may be good for Gaffalione.
Payton led Brees to victory over NFL great Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLIV - the high point of a successful partnership.
Adams got plenty of compliments from fans after showing off her outfit at Churchill Downs.
