@@apharoah12 you should interview the other groom that was supposed to come With the horse the real one but stayed at gulfstream park So they sent Moises instead and it’s getting all the credit instead of sharing it with his coworker and who was taking care of the horse back at gulfstream Rene reyes is his name that would be an interesting story to a person who also deserves credit.
This is the best first-hand footage of the Kentucky Derby I've ever seen. Thank you so much. Being a die-hard Chicago racing fan, I keep watching the stretch run over and over, hoping Two Phil's hangs on.
Two Phil's was set up just perfect. He had the perfect trip, but Mage was just better on the day. My pick was Two Phil's, my husband picked Mage. We're both pretty happy they did well.
Thank you so much for this amazing production! I am deathly allergic to horses despite having grown up in Kentucky and loving the equine world. I've never been to the races, let alone the Derby, but loyally watch the Derby on TV each year. This video is the closest I can ever get to being there, feeling the excitement and hearing the roar of the crowd. Thank you!!!!
Triunfo con sabor VENEZOLANO excelente trabajo de Gustavo Delgado entrenador exitoso en Venezuela y ahora triunfando en USA la conducción de Javier Castellano espectacular porque nunca desespero toda la labor del equipo de cuadra comenzando por su traqueador Javier Delgado Leal que fue jockey y gano muchas carreras en el hipodromo de Santa Rita(Venezuela)felicitacionea a todos y esperando otro triunfo en el Preakness Stakes ¡¡arriba mis paisanos venezolanos!!dejando el nombre de la patria bien alto
Genial la carrera de Mage y la conduccion de Javier Castellanos de lo mejor partio de decimo sexto y Javier lo fue colocando hacia afuera para estar libre de tropiezos y en la curva remato efectivamente para ganar , la preparacion de Gustavo Delgado impecable igual para JJ Delgado el cual lo galopa y fue buen jinete en La Rinconada. Bonito triunfo venezolano. Felicitaciones por este programa tan bien hecho.
@@apharoah12 Yes you should. First ran in 1780. My favorite meeting in England. Personally, I'm not a great fan of jump racing but I love watching the best of the best Flat horses compete against each other all over the world. Great fan of American racing. Read a lot of books, Andy Beyer, steven Crist, William l Scott, and many others.
I have never seen a race of horses before. quite fascinating. Thank you for posting this extrordinary sporting even combining the athletic ability of the equine species, and the guidance of the little tiny jockeys. I recall watching the FLINTSTONES as a youth in Bulgaria, and the jockeys were little monkeys.
Thank you SO MUCH for this and all your videos. You are the C-SPAN of horse racing, putting us there and just letting us watch it unfold. My work schedule is such that I can't see any races, so I've kind of lost interest. I did check out the field yesterday, and picked Mage just on his name. Probably would have boxed him in a few exactas with horses that finished up the track lol. Again THANK YOU for this video!
Thank you so much for the coverage of the Derby. Due to family issues, I missed the race yesterday. You did a great job. Congratulations to Mage, Javier, and Delgado!
Went too fast at the beginning for him to hold on. Bad move by the jockey, he doesn't need to be close to the lead. When pace went the way it did he should've pulled back and tried to get the trip Epicenter had last year.
Yo lo vi antes de la carrera en edonde eyos dan vueltas antes de la carrera y yo me dije este caballo se merese la foto porke esta muy bonito y asi fue esta bien alimentado y ojala se gane la triple corona ya lleva una faltan 2
Great to re-live my 1st Derby live .. ever! From Raleigh, North Carolina. PICKED “MAGE” from right after his 2nd in the Florida Derby to Forte! NO CONTEST! 🎉 . My Son listened to me for the 1st time in his life🤣 and had $100 on MAGE to,WIN! Sat near great folks from Chicago, from LA, and Ohio. None had MAGE despite my urging. Skipping Derby 150 BUT will be back for #151 … health permitting. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.
I appreciate your emphasis on watching the horses. I prefer that to the constant focus on the owners, etc on the network coverage. However I thought I saw a horse rearing in the paddock during the broadcast and missed it here. Does anyone know which one (or timestamp if it was recorded here)? I saw an article that claimed part of the injury issue was the massive increase in people surrounding the horses and I believe they have a point watching this. The walk to the paddock and saddling has something like 5 to 10 times the people that used to be allowed pre-race.
If a horse reared I never saw it. Must’ve happened out of my view. The amount of people in the paddock here was no different than any other Derby, and the new temporary paddock has a whole lot more space for them to spread out than all the previous paddocks
Will Forte run in da Preakness ?. If so great to see him run again next to MAGE . Congrats on da win this yr 2023 derby win here . Good vlog of this rave here . Breeding is everything in these race . Can MAGE WIN THE TRIPLE CROWN
Best of luck to Mage, moving forward in his racing career, the sport always needs new heros, to continue the legacy, from Colin, to Citation, to Northern Dancer, to Secretariat, to Mage.
Smh I can’t believe they let this horse 🐎 play so much, this was vastly improving 💯 not even forte could have beat him 💯 congrats to the connection great job💯❤️🐎
I missed the derby last night due to my own horses playing the fool and running me around. This is exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate the excellent coverage that let me see what really went on without a bunch of talking heads.
Dios misericordioso nos ha ayudado para que esté bello y maravilloso caballo obtuviera una victoria gracias a los conocimientos de todos El que tiene inteligencia heredada de su abuelo Luis Álvarez y quien estudia el pedigree Ramiro Restrepo Álvarez para salir victorioso y que todos los incluidos en este grupo estén felices y satisfechos disfrutando del triunfo a Javier Castellano mis respetos lo mismo a su entrenador De. Delgado y para todos los que comparten este triunfo Bendiciones
The video footage is excellent. When the horses first started to arrive, I observed that the top 3 finishers were the only ones who had not lathered up on their hind legs. In other words, keep an eye on them! I didn't think Mage would win since I believed you had to run as a two-year candidate, but that's no longer an option.
Lucky horse. The Favorite has a heel problem. Gets withdrawal. Opens the race to Longshots. The Second Favorite is overrated. Ran from back wouldn't get to the top 8 . I had the second place horse as my pick for months. He will get his place in the sun soon.. This horse will have to run in Grade 1 races for the rest of it's career. It will lose every race. Because, he now has a target on it. Be forced to run against older horses in the Fall . To prove he's not a fluke. Does the name Rich Strike come to mind. He still hasn't proven to be any other than a KD winner.
