Some people will say, ”Rich Strike will never win another race.” To which I say, ”He doesn’t have to.”

@KING4aday46 2 года назад

I believe it can. The trainer said it needs rest. Preakness is too early for it. Skip the Preakness. Run the Belmont. It can proobe it there hiw goos it is , and many more. California Chrome was a well example of such. Rest kept it running for a long time. It became the number one horse in money earner , until Arrogate took its place.

He has a better chance in the Belmont it's longer then the Derby the Preakness is the shortest triple crown race that's concerns me he could win but the jockey would have to get him closer & start move sooner then the Derby great race he will win again unlike Mind that Bird remember it was a muddy bias track he never won again they were all dry tracks also.

What's impressive about this race is how Sony Leon is trying to place his horse and how to pace his horse, he kept his cool all along.

Absolutely fantastic.

The jockey Sonny Leon did some amazing driving getting through the traffic in the last turn. When the pack swung outside coming out of the final turn, it just sort of sucked them forward and gave them running room. I can almost see the disbelief in both horse and rider, like "holy s**t it's open running!" Beautiful to see Rich Strike cut around the #6 horse and still hold stride. But, to run down the leaders and win going away after that smoking pace shows speed apparently nobody knew this horse had. I grew up going to the Downs and hanging around on the back side.

As he is coming down the stretch on the rail, I love the way Rich Strike takes a look to his right, sees the gap and jukes into it. Then he is staring straight at Epicenter as he chases him down, and finally looks forward when he decides it is time to finish things.

@stephenp2174 11 месяцев назад

I've never seen a horse stare down other horses during a race. Let's be honest, horses have limited intelligence. Most stare straight ahead and will run until they die if prompted. Several times Rich Strike turns his head , telling Sonny Leon where he wants to go. He's clearly staring at Epicenter, he wanted to catch him and win the race. That's why we watch sports for moments like this. You gotta run the race, play the game. Never know what's gonna happen.

@anthonytomlinson3451 6 месяцев назад

@Boudica234 2 года назад

@@ronguerin111 Give the jockey credit too. Looking at the replay I still can't believe that late move. The horse that was blocking on the inside was slowing down big time. U can see Rich Strike have to stop all its momentum to avoid a collision. The skill of that jockey (apologies for not knowing his name) to pull up, avoid a collision, turn right on a dime, pass the blocker and regain the inside with acceleration was the best riding I've ever seen. But I also agree the ability of that horse to regain speed after the block was truly incredible. Typically when that happens so late in the stretch a horse can never recover. Granted I'm just a casual racing fan but I've never seen a move like that. Unbelievable.
