I have never been more impacted by a horse race in my life!!! I’m super amazed and mind blown, I can’t stop watching this. I’m so happy for Rich Strike, the rider and the family! They deserve it. Thank god for that horse dropping out!
I don't even watch horse racing or follow the Kentucky Derby but my friend went to the Kentucky Derby this year with her boyfriend so I decided to look up the results. I can't stop watching the replay of RICH STRIKE striking rich and winning the 2022 Kentucky Derby. What a COMEBACK STORY!! Congrats to Sonny Leon (the Jockey) and his team!! WOW. I'm so happy :)
shows poor Rich Strike's abuse on the race track. I was excited watching the race but now I'm shocked at the way he has been treated and yes lets wait for the insurance claims. Poor horse. ua-cam.com/video/THKvY6kJJ7s/v-deo.html
Wow what a race!!! What a story!!! Who doesn't love an underdog!!! Rich Strike is absolutely gorgeous and very spunky!!! 🐎💙 A race for the ages for sure!!!! Could we have another Triple Crown in the works? Time will tell!! Best wishes to all involved with this amazing horse!!! 🐎💙💕. Can't wait to see him in the Preakness Stakes!!!!
No. He's a horse for a course. Only 2 wins have been at Churchill. Got beat like 15 lengths by this Epicenter on another dirt track. That's why he was 80-1. They started avoiding dirt tracks. Ran him on all weather surfaces (synthetic.) They knew he had a chance on Churchill dirt. Threw everybody off by avoiding dirt.

What a story indeed. Rich Strike's win in the derby made all of us proud. A horse with a connection to so many people and places. Im also very happy for his sire Keen Ice. And his Manitoba Canada bred dam Gold Strike. Who was champion 3 year old filly in Canada back in 2005. Champions and Winners Run in Rich Strike's blood.
How super he was able to catch up with the others so quickly. The biting and the need for rest, though, show it took a lot out of him. The horse with the mask. Already legend.
rich strike is really smart. twice down the stretch you can see him look at the horse he had to catch and he did. i love stories like this. what a beautiful animal.
For one thing, RS's trainer saw right away he wasn't a turf horse. On the long run, this could have saved the horse's life too. Now, he is a star. Horse and trainer, but mostly, the horse.
Horse, trainer AND rider🤩...I know the trainer ..not just know "of" him...I pulled for him totally!...my kids' dad was a Veterinarian and used to treat his horses..(my kids'dad died 11 yrs ago)... he's a good guy!!...that race was SO amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@mattm8932 Not at all. He could have ended up in the slaughter pipeline like 150k others every year. Luckily his current trainer knew he had talent on dirt tracks....
@@kathleenhuff3059 That is awesome Kathleen! Hey, by chance, could you get with me? I am a film maker, and this is such an amazing story of this family and the industry. This is what America needed, especially with all the tragedy involved. Still get goosebumps when I watch it. I know its a long shot, with sooo many other people wanting to do this story. As long as I can be a part, it would mean the world to me! God Bless, thank you.

What I appreciated about this jockey was that he didn't beat his horse to death. He did carry and lightly use a crop, but I didn't feel that the horse was abused just to get across the finish line first. A little urging was used, but reasonable. Really good ride on a really good horse! Wow!

No tuve oportunidad de saber que iba a participar un jinete venezolano en el Derby de Kentucky; sabía que whaite Abarrio , tiene que ver con propietarios de Venezuela y analice su campaña y me gustaba junto con Epicenter para ganar el clásico; pero Rick strike con sonny león mostró que corre bien en distancias largas, y veo que puede seguir avanzando para conquistar la triple corona; el jinete lo conoce y es buen caballo. Dios bendijo la constancia y sacrificios de sonny león , es un hombre de fe cristiana. Que sigan las victorias.
It is a great story you will have some cynical statements by some but I don't know perhaps they are just that way or the bet alot & lost,agree will make a great movie.
In roulette, if you put a chip on any given number that wins, you’re paid 35-1. This horse was 80-1. The jockey, with over 5000 mounts, has one victory in a stakes grade race until now. The stars were aligned for this!
That's John Goodman there in a Hollywood movie called, "Rich Strike." Opening Scene: OVER BLACK We hear CRACKLING flames. Terrified horses neighing. Desperate shouts. FADE IN:
50:1 Mine That Bird won May 2, 2009. He came from last place to first place on the last turn and he didn’t barely win, he won with no other horse around him. I love long shots.
this would be like a high school baseball team beating a major league baseball team in a one game tournament. never in my life of 67 years did i ever think this could happen.
Actually, you are probably more correct than you realize. This race had great prophetic implications, almost every aspect of it. See Prophet Johnny Enlow on Elijah Streams for details - it will blow your mind.
Hello orgulloso de ser venezolano Sony León 🦁 de 🇻🇪 2 jinete en ganar el Derby el mostró Gustavo Ávila con cañonero o hora Sony un abrazo y saludos desde Barcelona España 🇪🇸 el chamo
yes! the MOST EXCITING 2 minutes in Sports!!! You can feel the electricity in the air from the stands and the crowd too. Not as big as NASCAR, but that takes over 2 hours... all that packed into 2 minutes and a $ 3 million purse to the top 5 finishers. (1.86 mil to the winner)
One heck of a chest. Legs a little thin and the back quarters a bit small . . . but a thoroughbred! He'll have that hundred yard dash and then the marathon.
He was in the travel trailer on the road when they got the phone call. They were headed up to Saratoga to enter him in the weekend races. None of this was even supposed to happen. Unless, of course, ALL OF IT was supposed to happen!
The fire was started by lightning. They managed to save a few, but the fire was too intense. They got as many out as they could, yet I believe 23 or 24 perished in the barn fire. A lot of us in the racing community remember this horrible event. The most terrible fact of all is that it took firefighters almost 40 minutes to arrive. If they had arrived sooner, more horses could have been saved.
Another Secretariat? wow wouldn't that be something! The announcer said that the last time something so spectacular happened was in 1913...... dude get your facts together.....
As you watch Rich Strike coming down the homestretch, he appears to be wanting to nip at some of the nearby horses there too. He keeps looking off to the right. Fiesty.
Sonny León thank you for your Victory, you bring hope and honor to our country, God bless you and Viva Venezuela 🇻🇪 🙏
Yes, the jockey from Venezuela did a nice job with this horse. He rides into history in an all-time great victory.
I have never been more impacted by a horse race in my life!!! I’m super amazed and mind blown, I can’t stop watching this. I’m so happy for Rich Strike, the rider and the family! They deserve it. Thank god for that horse dropping out!
2nd to only watching Secretariat at Belmont stakes. That felt as much twilight zone as this race.
Horse racing is cruel AF.
So happy for the family, jockey, and the Rich Strike now! Congratulations! 🎉

Sonny León from our homeland Venezuela 🇻🇪💓💓👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
All the Best for the jockey-sonney and team. Venezuela is really happy for him!
And coming out of post 20…amazing!!
You can have the best formula 1 car, but without a good driver you don't win. All the credit to the jockey Sonny Leon
So true.
He is a Venezuelan
Honestly just makes my day, love it
How super he was able to catch up with the others so quickly. The biting and the need for rest, though, show it took a lot out of him. The horse with the mask. Already legend.
A great win. Mine That Bird won from behind in 2009 by 7 lengths. Borel just blew them away at 50 to 1.
There is something magical about “ red horses “ ...... Rick Strike ❤️
I'm not even into the Kentucky Derby, but I happened to be watching this year, and I'm so glad I did! Congrats to you, Mr. Strike!
rich strike is really smart. twice down the stretch you can see him look at the horse he had to catch and he did. i love stories like this. what a beautiful animal.
I blindly place a $100 on rich strike and I got $8000 for the win . Didn't even had a clue about the race lol
Congratulations
Literally a rich strike for you! ha

Rich is an amazing horse, with an amazing jockey.
Sonny Leon last win was in a 5000 claimer at Belterra Park. Just as amazing was the masterful ride by Sonny Leon
Sonny is THE MAN
#RichStrike is the actual winner of #KentuckyDerby. Congrats!

Sunny leone had the idea to deal with a stayer.
He runs a lot of juvenile races, with thoroughbred horses trying learn racing. This was a rare shot at the Big Time for Leon. He made good!

When he altered course from the rail to avoid crashing into one of the leaders that's when it was clear he would win.
America's Horse - Rich Strike (foaled April 25, 2019) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse that won the 2022 Kentucky Derby racing at 80-1 odds.

Not very often you see the winning jockey in the Kentucky Derby covered in dirt.
What a great race!!
Sonny León hiciste historia para todo el mundo...👍👏👏👏👏👏
His family has horse racing background in Venezuela. He has worked hard and got a big chance here and succeeded. Best wishes to Sonny.

We needed that!
God bless you Sonny...🙏🙏👍😊😊😊
Amazing!
a movie is on its way
True.. Very True
Amazing horse and jockey. Wow
Good things still do happen to good people... ✌️, 💕 And Blessings!!!!
I always throw some change on the long shot. I'm so glad I threw more than change on Rich Strike this race. Show me the money...
You struck it rich with Rich Strike.
Sunny Leone had a good read of the Rich strike
So beautiful to watch!
What a story!!!!
Great story!
Just Amazing... A gift from God

30 seconds before the deadline to enter that race
An Epic moment in American Sports History, Woo! 🇺🇸🏇
The "Dixons" Jr.& Sr. Has that horses respect to the fullest. They had a talk with him before he won...lol
LOVE THIS STORY !!! USA NEEDED THIS WHAT A RED HEAD😄🥰🥰🥰
Richies groom reminds me of Eddie Sweat. 💗
His game is tight and ‘Strike reacts well with him as groom.
Keen Ice the sire of Rick Strike also a longshot when he upset American Pharoah
yes! the MOST EXCITING 2 minutes in Sports!!! You can feel the electricity in the air from the stands and the crowd too. Not as big as NASCAR, but that takes over 2 hours... all that packed into 2 minutes and a $ 3 million purse to the top 5 finishers. (1.86 mil to the winner)
The times at the half were too fast. Yes, that's a warning that the lead horses were not going to win unless they were faster than Secretariat.
Trainer fired groom!!!!! Dam people change
This is the only thing MSN hasn't lied about all year.
Good Job 👍
One heck of a chest. Legs a little thin and the back quarters a bit small . . . but a thoroughbred! He'll have that hundred yard dash and then the marathon.
He is skipping the dash.
Minute 2:55. your teeth are incredibly white and perfect. Inspiring race .
Rich Strike, some of us are not so easily deceived or tricked! lol
Rich strike is the next seabiscuit....seabiscuit lives again
I see a movie about this in the near future
Rich Strike is like Mar o War!
The underdog !!!!!!!!
Why do people keep asking how HE (Rich Strike) did this? The answer is simple. He out ran all the other horses. 💕 ❤️ 💕 RS 💕 ❤️ 💕!!!
I can't get away from this story and I don't mind. So he wasn't even supposed to be in the race technically? 😳
He was in the travel trailer on the road when they got the phone call. They were headed up to Saratoga to enter him in the weekend races. None of this was even supposed to happen. Unless, of course, ALL OF IT was supposed to happen!
The best ever race I have ever seen. I always go for the underdog. I just wish I have
some 💲💲💲on this horse and jockey. 🤪😜
Next for seabicuit.... Weldone finally get great fight horse
That's what u call a good jockey
Si esto fuera una escena en una película, diríamos "De ninguna manera eso sucedería en la vida real".

I can't watch these shows. The terminally happy hosts are too much.
It's so sad. This trainer lost how many horses in a barn fire? Did they burn up alive? How did it happen?
The fire was started by lightning. They managed to save a few, but the fire was too intense. They got as many out as they could, yet I believe 23 or 24 perished in the barn fire. A lot of us in the racing community remember this horrible event. The most terrible fact of all is that it took firefighters almost 40 minutes to arrive. If they had arrived sooner, more horses could have been saved.
@@SnidgetAsphodel Why did it take so long for the firefighters to get there?
@@suemilkbone4868 Nobody knows. There was a fire station only a few minutes away.
@@SnidgetAsphodel Thank you for your reply. So tragic 😥
Another Secretariat? wow wouldn't that be something! The announcer said that the last time something so spectacular happened was in 1913...... dude get your facts together.....
Reminds me of when jacamo won
Giacamo?
Is the USA ready for a triple crown winner??YES!YES!🗽👍🐴🐕
The groom is getting a lot of notoriety as well, as he's the only person Rich Strike doesn't want to bite.
Gives new meaning to the old saying “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”. 😉
Great win, but not every horse that wins is America's horse.
The jockey is Venezuelan ❤️
How did horse do it JESUS CHRIST!!!!
He didn't run out of gas cause he was running on batteries
Take my horse down to the Kentucky Derby and ride till I can't no more
Hello Ginnette
Anyone else cried?

rich strike looks a little like the great Secretariat.....
Can you show that guy talking yesterday morning about rich stick? not the same trying to save his job.
Like secretariat when he pulled it off
Pretty much John Daly at the PGA championship.
why was he 80 to 1 anyway?
Had a terrible record going into the race.
Striped it rich
