Any one see it?How that jockey maneuvered that horse from 21st position to win the race was some remarkable horsemanship,,and also,,what a horse.

They gave the jockey a 5 day suspension for driving recklessly.



True story.

That's the jockey's 4th suspension since September. He's not unfamiliar with hot water

Reckless driving ? Are you serious ? With that many horses, what choice do you have ? I thought it was incredible and a thing of beauty. I've watched it 25 times. He deserves an award !!

Not for that race.

I love it when the underdog wins!
It gives hope to the little guy

Like Coonman.

The horse will not be running in the Preakness, they want to give it extra rest for the Belmont Stakes, so they say.

Yah....right .....

Incredible race and even more incredible horse.

Jockey refused to go to the Whitehouse he said if he wanted to see a horse’s rear end he would of come in second ! (Not a true story)

I was clipping my toenails.
Sounds like I missed a good one?

I didn't get to see the race live. I did get to see it from where he first made his move. That was just insane how he maneuvered it thru the crowd. Even though I knew who won I still started yelling at the screen for him to go.... lol

Here is a YouTube video of the race.

I saw the video of the race from overhead with the horses labeled. Fantastic watching it happen from above. They called the jockey reckless? Spoiled bunch of losers, he ran that horse perfectly and didn’t impede anyone.
Coming into the home stretch it was like he was shot out of a cannon. Amazing.

If you had $100 on Rich Strike, how much would you have won?

The Preakness is may 21. I could see wanting to rest your horse longer and be ready for the next big race. Maybe the prize in the Belmont is higher! Googled it. Belmont total prize money is more than Preakness in 2021. Derby was the highest.

I agree with Osky. It's not like he did an auto racing style slide job or bump and run. (Which would be cool to see!)
It seems pretty simple to me - if your horse is faster than everyone else you pass them to win the race.

$8,000
