Wow a 3-horse photo finish?! You can't write a better script than that for the 150th Kentucky Derby!!!
My pick was 11. Forever Young, 3rd place stinks
the 3 Horseman,.. the fourth isn't here yet,.. thank God... what a race!!
I jus now Saw it !
I’m Still Trying to Recover ! WOW
No way you can possibly script this
a photo finish if you're blind
Forever Young's a tough horse, getting bumped that badly and still almost got there.
was my pick for $ 20 across the board
@@user-yk6yo5gk7z I was surprised Sierra Leone wasn't moved to third, considering how much he bumped Forever Young. Great race.
@@martinsrock100I think the jockey even lost his whip with all that bumping. I'll have to rewatch this replay.
@@martinsrock100 I'm sure if Forever Young's jockey had objected , the stewards would have been forced to take him down
@@martinsrock100should have been dropped he was crushing forever young
Only took the announcer 7 secs to realize Mystik Dan was leading by three lengths
As an Australian I have to say I love this American commentator Larry Collmus, but as you say he was calling the leader Fierceness at the top of the straight when it was actually Mystik Dan and the pity is, this race was such a classic that he's going to re-live that error thousands and thousands of times.
Agreed, I was wondering what race he was seeing when Mystic Dan went to the lead all alone and for so long. Too much of watching only the favorite and missing the obvious. Yes, exciting classic with with such a glaring error.
It wasn't anywhere near as bad as Tom Durkin in 2009 with Mine That Bird.
Coverage and presentation were absolutely terrible this year. Tirico even bombed when we all saw the replay clear as day and he sputtered around waiting for his teleprompter.
I've seen, or rather heard that guy do that before...I think it must be that he's so focused on the favorites...OR, he's getting old and time to hang up the binoculars..😁✌️
Putting that Piston Cup style finish aside,can we give props to Sierra Leone and Forever Young not only keeping their balance while making contact,but nearly WINNING the whole thing.
That was Sunday silence 👈😁
Easy Goer, going widest of all..
Kind of surprised there wasn’t an inquiry.

@@maggiegarber246
Both were bumping...
Yes Sir what a race!!
Mystik Dan's jockey , Brian Hernadez, gave the ride of his life. Wel done, sir!
The winning move is at 1:38, when he sends Mystik Dan into a hole that barely exists and they literally shove Track Phantom out of the way. Without that move, Dan's an also-ran.
Well
@@Venckman - yep, that was a boss move. Congrats to him and his team at 18-1
Great trip
Great ride,had Dan across and the exacta!
I am so impressed with Forever Young. He has travelled around the world and still tough enough, after being bumped into by SL, forced to run wide, still almost win the race. Love that horse
And he is a tail male descendant of Sunday Silence!
I have to give the jockey on Mystic Dan credit...he wasn't beating the crap out of him. He was fanning the whip & encouraging him. That horse has heart to spare.
I was thinking the same thing
The last 1/16th mile Mystik Dan hardly had his legs under him...those other 2 horses would have passed him on their next strides.
@@einarreitz3571 I agree... but that makes Mystik Dan's jockey's choices even more amazing in such a race of inches! Because his choices ended up being enough to WIN! Even by inches!
@@einarreitz3571there’s infinite shoulda, woulda, couldas in every race. None of them matter.
Please understand that a 120lbs man cannot hurt a 1200lbs animal lol.
The greatest derby I’ve seen in Years
Rich Strike in 2022 was pretty awesome.
Mine that Bird was my favorite
Me too. I won $392🎉
The greatest Derby I ever saw was back in 1980…..little Genuine Risk holding off Rumbo by a length. That was a very gallant filly.
Make kentucky great again...CWA ITU chapel 17...Sunday silence 1989
Mystik Dan was named in my grandfather's memory. Dan started his long and successful career as a salesman for Mystik tape. Grandpa, I know you are proud. RIP. ❤️
Source- trust me bro...
@@MooncricketsInc Can confirm: "During the 1960s, Dan and Martha Hamby married and moved to Boston, Massachusetts where Dan had the opportunity to get his start as a MYSTIK Tape salesman."

God bless
RIP to him and prayers for him, his family, and friends. 🙏 Congratulations on the win! 👏
OMG every fucking video has that guy.
What a race!!! My heart couldn’t almost take it…congrats to all three!!!
Incredible run by Hernandez on the rail. That was insane! Absolutely deserved the win.
Punched his way through a hole that wasn't really there, and shoved the other horse to the outside. That was what won the race. A lot of horses won't make that move pinned by the rail., but Mystik Dan was all heart.
All the credit to the jockey on this one. He rode a Calvin borail race
I am Japanese. I was prepared to be booed by the local people, but I'm glad that so many people supported me equally. I am very grateful to you for taking on the challenge.
Thank you Japan will win one but i will always support Japan horse racing until I’m not longer living
Forever Young is my champion I am retired jockey and that's why they would bump into him so he could lose strives but again in America everything's corrupt and rigged look at the previous Kentucky Derby using steroids
3rd isn't bad to show but 1st is the best. One day soon Japan will win
You would have took second if you did try to bump the other horse out!
Forever Young,should of came in 2nd or won,It's SHAMEFUL THEY DID NOT CALL FOULS ON SIERRA LEONE
50+ years later Secretariat's record still stands.
And it always WILL.
The normal thoroughbred has an 8-9 lb heart…when they did a post mortem on Secretariat that horse’s heart was over 20 lbs! Secretariat was a freak of nature. Or maybe genetically modified…who knows 🤷🏼♂️
@david …. Could you post your info source? Secretariat had a big heart but never heard it was THAT big. Thanks.
He was running a Hemi !! 😅...
@@lindahake1666 there is a documentary on UA-cam about Secretariat... should watch it... they mention how big his heart ❤️ was. That horse was a beast!
Absolutely fantastic ride by Hernandez...broke great, saved all the ground, took the rail opening perfectly...... won on a $10k horse beating a 2.3 million horse by a nose....thats how u pull off upsets
As for the horse, he avoided a ride in the Purina truck that was parked out behind the paddock …
@@Clyde-2055youre kiddin me right???
@Clyde-2055 don't you mean the Elmer's truck😏
Thrilling ! That is what makes an unforgettable horse race --- and this for the 150th run of the Kentucky Derby with a photo finish! WOW! Congrats to all -- particularly to Brian Hernandez and Mystik Dan who has more than earned a few additional treats today or tomorrow !
Maystik Dan fought off a horse on the rail and that made the difference...the shortest distance....on the rail..great ride!
Bumped on the the turn Dan did because he had NO Room and Fouled the Red Cap Jock AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISQUALIFIED.
Had no room 1st of all 2nd you don't fight with a jocks back turned or a horse's 😄. Dan had no room he fouled and the Stewards and Jock with red cap should have Logged a claim of Foul and Inquiry.
@@Spacerockrider72755ibmb He actually didn't foul him. There was a small hole there and the jockey simply threaded the needle. Track Phantom was already done by this point, so there was no need to foul bc his jockey knew at that point that he wouldn't win anyways
I'm japanese! I am grateful to have had the opportunity to watch this wonderful, historic race and see the Japanese horses running so hard!
They ran amazing, and did Sunday Silence proud.
Considering what he had to overcome, Forever Young ran the best race. If T O Password had not broken a half step slow or forced 5 wide in the final turn, he could have been up there too. Not to mention, I think the jockey dropped his crop around the 1/8 pole. Both showed that they belong with the best 3-year-olds.
@@knicholson1 Seems to me Mystic Dan, the horse in the winner's circle, had the best race.
Your Country has Great Beautiful Horses,Hope to see some next year,in the Kentucky Derby
It should have won if not for a certain horse!!!
It was SO close. I really though Sierra Leone got there but when I watched the replay it was definitely Mystik Dan. Congrats to Mystik Dan and his team!!!
I was cheering so hard for West Saratoga! His story and his trainer had the best story coming in to today! Good run Larry and West Saratoga!
I know right? Me too!
Forever Young was amazing. If not for all that bumping by Sierra Leone he would have taken the win. Great race
agree 100
If, if, if... He didn't win, that's the truth.
@@DomenicoG1953 thanks for the news flash captain conspicuous
Es verdad lo que decis... deberian descalificar Sierra Leone
Man, Forever Young really had a good finish. Great ending!
They NEED TO DISQUALIFIY SIERRA AT LEAST 4 TIMES THE ANNOUNCER SAID HE KEPT PUSHING HIM.I MEAN DAM SO CLOSE HE COULDN'T GET HIS WHIP

@@ketanjibrownsfavemolester7592 how bout mind your own dam business about,FACTS
@@ketanjibrownsfavemolester7592 ,
OHHH,JUST BECAUSE YOUR SENSITIVE ,I FIXED MY SPELLING
I think Forever Young just proved if the "right" horse wins the UAE Derby. That horse has a solid shot to win the Kentucky Derby. Wonderful race
He ran an awesome race. If the outside horse would have left him alone he would have gotten to Dan. Japan is getting closer each year.
What
Quite possibly!
The problem is we gonna keep saying this EVERY YEAR....the COMPETITION is better here and that's where most of them get the reality check ...FY ran well but I still think the horse has to prep stateside....to win the Derby
If you watch the UAE derby, there is no question he was the best horse in that race. He was 3 wide the whole trip and won easily. The question was WHAT DID HE BEAT?
I always get emotional watching these races…those power animals are just so beautiful 🤩
What a finish! Can't remember one this close in all the years I've been following the Derby.
What a fantastic ride. Got the gap and the horse gave every ounce to get to the line. He certainly deserved that win.
Greatest Finish, possibly of all time at the turn AND, at the wire. Outstanding race. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Probably one of the best Kentucky Derby’s I’ve ever seen if not the best
there was a better one two short years ago.
And the one of the Big Red in 1973...
I loved hores and started watching races young. I remember seeing Secretariat race( still my favorite). Maybe for a little excitement take a look at some of those old races. Sadly, seeing Ruffian break down ended my love of horseracing.
Nice ride Brian Hernandez. Gave Mystic Dan a really good journey 💪⭐️
Larry Collmus having a Tom Durkin 09 moment there! Mystik Dan was well clear for a bit there and Larry didn't even see him similar to Tom Durkin when Mine That Bird won in 09.
Mine that Birds race was amazing but this call noticed Mystik Dan way before the other noticed Mind that Bird.
Yeah ..he blew it
Not an easy gig to do perfectly...
Especially in a 20 horse field...
Yes, I was waiting on this comment, that horse had opened up by the time he noticed it ,he was looking at all the outside horses that were closing and lost track of the rail
Mine that Bird was my favorite
Screaming Larry missed Mystic Dan for a quarter mile while Travis Stone absolutely nailed the call....
Absolutely. Stone saw the 'cut the corner'. Larry didn't even see the horse at all .
Terrible,They All make Same Mistake,Always Concentrate On Favorites,(Supposedly Better Horses)And They Get Burned.
日本人としてフォーエバーヤングは誇りです
Great horse! I was cheering for Forever Young! (And made a small bet on him lol)
That was an exciting finish. I was pulling for West Saratoga
That little horse was so game to finish 12th after getting the snot knocked out of him, twice!
An absolute joy to watch and breathtaking beauty! Nothing like the Derby!!!
(Secretariat)Kentucky Derby time 1:59:40
(Mystick Dans) time today 2:3.34
I hope people really and truly understand how great Secretariat was We will never see another Secretariat again! He records are safe for ever
Secretariat - a truly unique, Freak of Nature!
(That's a compliment.) 🥰
@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking thank you ! 😁
I just want to say as great as secretariat was, you really can't compare times today to times 50 years ago. Rules have changed (they have cracked down on drug use and whipping as well as other rules). Tracks today have actually been made slower than back then due to safety reasons. I am not saying these horses would have beat secretariat because I have no doubt that secretariat would have smoked these horses as the time was extremely slow this year. However, comparing the times secretariat made 51 years ago is not really reasonable considering how much has changed in racing.
@@SSN862 Secretariat had a huge heart.
The tracks of the 1970's were scraped and concrete hard. There is no comparison to today's tracks.
In 1978 I got to hang out in the barn after the Santa Anita Derby. I was introduced to Affirmed and I told that beautiful horse he was going to win the Triple Crown 👑-history was made. ❤
Why wasn’t Sierra Leone disqualified for bumping Forever Young several times?
It wasn’t intentional. The horse has been known to commonly lean towards the rail when running down the back stretch. Really the only downfall of the horse.
@@joeroy3842facts but the jockeys job at the end of the day is too ride it straight and true or am I wrong
They were both bumping...
Get over it..
@@davidvatu2563 yes but down the last furlong, if he’s trying to pull the horse straight and the horse keeps leaning, there isn’t much you can do. Watch some other races/pre race coverage on Leone. It’s a known issue.
@@davidvatu2563 true, however the jockey of forever young is also in the wrong. He was whipping forever young with his left, causing to drift out towards the right and bump Sierra Leone
A Piston Cup finish in the Kentucky derby is crazy enough,but Mystik Dan making a 7 wide pass for the lead just adds on top of that.
What race did you watch?
7 wide? He was on the rail the whole way!!
Sarcasm?
Forever young the real deal. Best horse in race....
If you watch closely. Jockey on the 2 horse clearly grabs Forever young jockey whip out of his hands. Before that happen I saw a whip go flying in the middle of the screen. Did anyone else see this. Forever young won this race hands down. Bumped all the way down stretch.
My money was on Forever Young
@@catherinecarpenter2496 mine too.
But didn't win.
The best in every race is the winner. Nobody else
Doesn't get any closer than that. What a beautiful race
Someone explain why Larry Collmus, the announcer, was saying at 1:46 "and Resilience has now moved up to take the lead" when clearly Mystik Dan had taken the lead, 😳which announcer doesn't say until 1:54 when Mystik Dan had been in the lead since 1:44 at least. 💀In fact, rewatching it, Resilience NEVER takes the lead. 😅
He was probably looking through binoculars and didn’t have Dan in his sights. Trouble with binoculars is the view is so narrow lol, you gotta take them off to see the whole field
You get up there and do a better job. Go on.
Collmus sucks
Yeah, pretty embarrassing.
He messed this up, he called both Stronghold and Resilience coming on the outside and just said "Resilence" again rather than Mystik Dan. He called Mystik Dan earlier in the race so he certainly knew he was there.
Forever Young was best in this race. Wide throughout almost knocked off its feet by Sierra Leone to only lose by a head.
Welcome to the derby
Dude-Mystik Dan had to shoot a gap half a horse wide to get to the front. He was pinned on the rail the entire race. Give credit where credit is due.
@@aeromedical6776 He had a perfect trip while saving ground the entire race. At the top of the stretch he had to wait for the tired frontrunners to drop back before he shot through. Besides that, it was a perfect ride by Hernandez.
I’m confused did FY win the race?
@@ernesthercher5193 -LOL. Some butt hurt people think he should have. Last time I looked, the best horse in the race is the one who crossed the finish line FIRST. Hugging the rail might be the shortest distance you have to cover, but it’s also where you have the most traffic to contend with.
The Japanese horse Forever Young had a good chance kept getting bumped tough loss
The closest I have seen to a dead heat in that race, and I have watched live on television every single running of the Derby since 1961, when I was six years old.
SL and Forever young on the
outside reminds me of
Sunday Silence-Easy goer
on the rail in the preakness,
paying attention to just those two..
@@ketanjibrownsfavemolester7592 That race was great, too. The best race I ever saw was the 1978 Belmont, with Affirmed and Alydar.
@@ValleyoftheRogue
Another great one...👍
@@ValleyoftheRogueyeah that one was arguably the greatest race of all time with the Triple Crown on the line. Legendary rivalry between those two.
@@ericbrown1101 It was the best.
I had this weird feeling about both Mystik Dan and Forever Young this morning. Glad I went with my gut
bs
I think it was Friday's supper sounding off in your gut.
:)
Boy, that was exciting! Really didn't think that Mystik Dan would pull it off but was hoping McPeek/Hernandez could take the Oaks/Derby double. Brian doing his best Calvin Borel imitation coming up that rail. So happy for the whole team!
The ending fight between the horse on 2nd place and 3place was determined for the winner!!
that was one heck of a finish!! what an amazing race, wow!!
Congrats to Mystic Dan and his jockey Hernandez!!! What a very smart jockey! Great ride and well deserved win!❤
Amazing how Resilience turned into Mystic Dan! 😅
What a run! Love when the race is so competitive.
I am in front of my television, tuned on NBC, asleep. I missed a GREAT race...Mystic DAN(g) !😭😄
If Sirrea didn't block Forever Young for the whole finishing straight the Japanese horse would've won it easily.
There was plenty of bumping
going on by both...
Take your loss, and stop whining..
Ya Sierra was causing it could've been a foul
Mystic Dan wasn't exactly quitting here
@@BryantBrothers-gm1qx
That's true...👍
Absolutely Right
Larry’s time has past. That was one of the best derbys ever and he missed the horse on the lead, and made that call one to watch the race with the volume off. Was strangely obsessed with a horse that wasn’t really doing anything, Fierceness and Stronghold… great race and awful call
Yes he was focused on the outside horses and didn't pick up the rail
As is often the case, he's focused on the horses he's wagered on...and has hallucinations of glory. He sucks.
@@michiganjackLarry also blew the Rich Strike call. He stinks
Bad call by Colmus, He did not recognize Dan
Nail biting! So exciting! Congratulations Mystic Dan! 🎉🎉❤❤
NASCAR and horse racing are killing it with photo finishes this year
Horrible race call.
That wasn't as bad as the Mine That Bird call, but it was close lol.
Nobody cares about that
@@TheJustjim3333 Wish I could agree with you, but many people listen to the race calls and DO care.
@rendragmedia definitely! I expect the announcer to get the call right. It would be like Emmitt Smith scoring the winning TD in the Super Bowl and Al Michaels saying it was Michael Irvin.
@@TheJustjim3333yes, they do.
Amazing race! Thank you for uploading a recording!
All those horses worked hard they all deserve all the best hay and snacks! Great job guys!
Beautiful!!! What a great race.
Congrats to Mystic Dan. Got the ground saving trip...Forever Young seems like the real deal...look for this horse if he stays healthy to do great things, probably should have won today for a number of factors including the ride 😉
Jockey is rookie
What a race! I was shouting all the way cheering for Sierra Leone! Amazing race by Mystik Dan🙏🏻🙏🏻
Fighting through at the rail was the crucial moment for the win.Saved ground the whole way
1. Lost cable connection.
2. Didn't panic and fixed it within a minute to start.
3. It's one of the best races ever!
What a race. I will say that was a horrible call of the race lol. Down the stretch he's calling a horse taking the lead that was actually 3rd lol. Come on man. Mystic Dan was well in front as he saying another horse had taken the lead.
We'll soon develop a race
caller with 40 eyes...👈🤔
Exactly! Horrible track call. I was like wtf do you not see Mystic Dan leading by 2 lengths lol
@@cjhurtado73 He probably didn't. If you notice, there's a break in the call when he's trying to call that Resilience and Stronghold are coming up on Fierceness's outside on the turn, it's only a half second pause, but it is there, so he likely looked down at his program/flash cards to see which two horses those were, and may have missed Mystik Dan coming through on the rail when he did. And bc track announcers use binoculars to call races, and bc binoculars have a small view point, Mystik Dan was probably out of his sight again until he set the binoculars down when the horses got close enough to see without them
Ive watched the last 3 derby's ,, I can deal with the 4 hour preshow for the 2 minutes of excitement.
overall a really brilliant race- some incredible riding by al three jockeys and massive heart in both Forever Young and Sierra Leone as well. SUPER impressed by the way Brian Hernandez kept Mystik Dan right at the rail, just behind the leaders for so long, and as soon as that gap opened up, he took that slot. really really well done.
I called this race all day!!! Congratulations Mystic!!!
Wow, what a race!
THANK YOU for posting!!!
That finish gave me chills and to be 18-1 that's a great derby finish
Shocking commentary guys, the greatest 2 minutes in sports deserves better than that, come on. A tale of tough horses and a jockey who was determined to get his horse on the inside (that was the long photo delay, normally a stewards and DQ in America but Kentucky wanted to avoid it) and a jockey who took a horse’s moment in history away by giving it too much to do. Great racing brilliant event as always 🎉… CONGRATULATIONS MYSTIC DAN 🎉🎉
NBC=Naturally Bad Coverage
What a race three way photo finish my horse Sierra Leone loses by nostril , Forever Young 3rd. What a race he run in a thriller . congratulations mystik Dan .
Well, that finish doesn't get much better than that now. Does it..what an amazing race..🐎🏁
That was insane! You had to watch it again and again!
In the video it is clearly seen that Sierra Leone charges in and hits Forever Young almost making him fall, the Japanese should have filed a claim against Sierra Leone
#11 Forever Young's jockey should've claimed foul against #2 Sierra Leone's rider. Definitely had a chance to get put up to second, there was a lot of contact and may have cost him a nose or a neck 🤨🤔
Anyone agree?
I agree
Yes I agree, the betters who had place money 💰 should be mad 😠 😡
It was mutual.
The jockey, trainer, and owner all have the right to claim a foul, none of rhem did.
Disagree, because none of the bumping was intentional. You see this every year around the final curve, the horses lean towards the rail down the stretch, and bumping happens all the time. Even if FY's jockey did decide to lodge a complaint, it would be rejected. It's bumping. It happens. Move on with your life.
A triple photo finish is wilddd
Thank you for this beautiful horse race. It was a nail biter right to the end. Amazing horse and amazing jockey.
I had 3 11 exacta
2 fouled #11. Unreal
11 winning race if not that
That's what trying to predict
the future is like...
"I was right.......but....."......
No he didn't. He's pulling Sierra's head to the right, trying to make him go to the right, the whole time.
Look at Sierra - who doesn't look straight ahead.
Sierra's jockey attempts a "short reign." You must let go a bit with your hand, and move your grip "up" the reigns.
Seems mis-timed - his left hand loses grip on the reign and shoots out. But he never hits Forever, nor his jockey.
Forever's jockey pulls an acrobatic, but courteous move after 1:59.
Not wanting to strike Sierra, he taps Forever's LEFT rump, with the crop in his RIGHT hand, by twisting around/standing in the saddle.
(Watch it in slo-mo. Wow! It's impressive.)
It all looks like a fight - until you watch a few times, and see what's going on.
After the first bump, both horses leaned on each other. It's a "stallion/dominance" thing.
And both jockeys acted sportsmanlike towards each other.
Thus, no inquiry, no foul.
@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking
Great call...👍
if Sierra Leone had run straight and not kept bumping Forever Young, he probably would have won (also i feel so bad for Forever Young's connections, they were so close to winning! but there's always next time!)
and to everyone criticizing Larry's call, back off. Everyone makes mistakes; even the GOATs slip up every once in a while
anyways, what a thriller of a finish for the 150th Derby!
I'm a fan of Larry too, but missteps of that type in the big races draw lots of attention.
Colmus is no where even near being the goat of announcers
I’m talking about GOATs in general
That’s the thing he can’t run straight in the finish. Watch his other races.
All I can say is just WOW!!! An absolutely amazing race!
Congratulations Kenny!!!
Forever Young got boxed in the whole race then finally got out and was bumped all the way done the stretch. He will win the next two races, bank.
Probably the most exciting Derby I’ve seen
I am proud of Forever Young.
The owner of the company that created Uma Musume, which revitalized horse racing in Japan, became the owner of the horse and won third place in the prestigious Kentucky Derby, not far behind first place.
It's dramatic and inspiring.
Also, he's super cute. Cute, cute, cute.
Wow, only 20 lengths behind Secretariat's time, those horses were really flying!
It will never be another secretariat I doubt any of his records will ever be broken
Secretariat was an all -
time great and his time
was very impressive but
the track was extremely
fast that day and the one today was probably
heavy with all the rain,
lately. Mystic Dan, also,
had to squeeze through
traffic on the rail and it
took a lot out of him.
He ran an awesome race
even if it wasn't all that
fast !
to think that humans evolve and horses do not. you have to remember steroids were LEGAL in horse racing in those days not to mention the dirt in 73 was like running on concrete almost. you simply cant compare. barry bonds was the best hitter to ever play the game in my eyes but thanks to 3 types of roids or PEDs he used and one of them he used helped with eye site which a lot of people dont realize. so next time we want to compare today horses with Secret-ariat lets think about this? we had a nice clean race this year because they cracked down on Bob Bafferts drugged up horses.
@@mike.j3913 not unless they go back to legalizing roids
@@josephyodiceyodice5990 Agree was a great race today. But the racetrack in 1973 was *not* lightning, merely fast. What made the time so fast is you had literally the two thoroughbreds (cousins) with the largest measured hearts in global history, going at each other hammer and tongs down the straight, to record the two fastest Kentucky Derby times of all time! That's right, Sham ran the Derby faster than any other horse in history, besides his cousin Secretariat.
Derby is about who gets the best trip and stays out of trouble. Both Leon and Young ran better races, going wide, pounding into each other down the stretch and a stride or two more and both would have passed the winner.
Congrats to Hernandez, he’s been around a long time. The Derby is the race you want to win. You’ll have that forever.
If Baffert goes to Baltimore then your Triple Crown hopes will end there.
Even if Baffert doesn’t go to Baltimore, MD’s Triple Crown are over …
This is such a close finish with three horses at the last few seconds!!!!
Great coverage - thanks for posting this!
Terrible call by this announcer. Totally missed Mystik Dan until the very end. This was an all-jockey/starting position win. The great starting position and the rail run by Brian Hernandez was as perfect as it needed to be. Congratulations!
Congratulations to Mystik Dan for winning the 150th Kentucky Derby🐎🌹🥃
That elbow with the horse bump was great riding. Congratulations.🤛🏽
Up until now the 05’ Derby was my favorite BUT THIS IS THE BEST BY FAR! Mystik Dan holding off the closers and getting the Oaks and Derby double, Sierra Leone and Forever Young slugging it out for 2nd & 3rd, and even T O Password did great! Im so proud of the Japanese! And hopefully this encourages them to keep trying because this was a huge performance.
Oh yeah, Giacomo passes 11 in the stretch, 6 of which he passed in deep stretch. Only one sports writer thought he'd win. Heck, I saw the Hollywood Futurity in person, and the top 3 were all out and matched each other stride for stride.
Incredible Sierra Leone and Forever young have the same grandma!😮
Goosebumps race, beautiful.
Whoever bet on Track Phantom was probably in tears😂
Great finish!!! I wonder if Sierra Leone and his cousin Forever Young weren't bumping each other in the stretch, would either of them had one. Great race and finish either way.
Fake race. Sierra Leone bumped the 11 down the stretch
