ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND EDITIONS, MAY 11-12 - In this photo taken, Wednesday, May 8, 2013, Ogden Mills "Dinny" Phipps, owner of the 2013 Kentucky Derby winner Orb, is interviewed at his Rockefeller Center office in New York. Not that Phipps is superstitious, but just before the Kentucky Derby he went fishing on his boat for a few days. Back on land, he soon found himself in the winner's circle at Churchill Downs. A week before Orb attempts to win the Preakness on May 18, he is heading out to sea again for a little bone-fishing in the Bahamas.
