[@jerich8595]

total shame not taking anything away from *Always Dreaming* but he couldn't warm up *Thunder Snow*

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

Thunder Snow, of course, would win the Dubai World Cup twice in a row.

[@jerich8595]

What a shame for the connections since the World's most classic prestigious grade 1 is the only one ever that has *Eluded Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum*. *Maxfield* has a significant shot coming in 2020's Kentucky Derby since *Maxfield* recently took down the grade 1 Keeneland Futurity on dirt at Keeneland *Stylishly* last Saturday. Go *Maxfield* {*Big Blue-Godolphin-Ky Wildcats*} LOL

[@MarathonManPeatMoss]

So who was the genius who thought it was a good idea to switch to a rear camera shot just as the field left the gate?

[@KoriHarlan]

MarathonManPeatMoss TRUE

[@selinajavier7753]

I watch the race live at my HPI account, you wont see this back view camera on the live race. Its obvious that they edited it to cover up the unfair start suffered by few horses due to foul riding made by jockey Rajiv Maragh , Classic Empire suffered the most.

selina javier Thanks so much for the link. :-)

[@stinknbee]

With all that rain, I found it interesting that nobody ever said if Churchill had been sealed at anytime.

[@patrickiii1693]

LOL at Thunder Snow at the start. He was like WTF is this dreck. Nope ain´t happening. Let´s go home.

[@stinknbee]

Patrick III *LOL I never saw "Airs Above The Ground" in horse racing! I thought that was for dressage only!*

[@toniearl3497]

Well, today, March 31, 2018, Thunder Snow won the Dubai World Cup. Not too shabby.

[@lorderchamion]

Also wound up here after seeing Thunder Snow win the Dubai World Cup. Man he just didn't give a f*#k on the first saturday in May though

[@bobbernhardt6751]

I thought he had suffered a hideous breakdown in the Derby.

@@steelskydiver2096 I bet a 1 dollar trifecta on always dreaming over all all. Cost 347 paid over 8 grand cause the second and third place finishers were huge prices.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Did he ever win another race?

[@jerich8595]

Made 15 million USA $$ after that does that answer your question?

[@keybuckley]

Was that a bucking strap on the no.2 horse?

[@Venckman]

No, probably all the slop. Same effect.

[@jerich8595]

that's exactly what i said after dropping a couple grand at nice odds

[@danielmccullough4460]

Practical Joke ran a credible race, just don't don't this is the ideal distance for him. He had the dream trip I hoped he'd get and Joel had a lot of horse early and placed him beautifully. Looked like he might rally in the last bit, but he just didn't have any more gears. I do like that horse, I know the Preakness is only a bit shorter but I think the track will favour his running style, and if they get a dry track I think he could well. Hope he tries the Preakness.

[@MolivesTV]

KNOW HOW YOU CAN WIN EVERY TIME!!

[@TheFrozenPines]

Yeah my boy Always Dreaming won!! I picked 1st and 4th correct, but wtf is up with these longshots finishing 2nd and 3rd?? Somebody got some nice payoffs

[@spacepathfinder1]

He won as the cleanest horse too.

[@BoleDaPole]

Damn you Thunder Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@josefhurmer1453]

6th!
devil where were you at the Backstretch? no. All good, brave run. you are a technical wonderhorse in moving to side...😉 could end better, but the fresh apple you earn afterwards this slippery dirty race, with too much horses, half of them never got chance.
thx, "Young Man" 🗨... see you flying to win next time...🍎

[@ahsankhurshid4939]

0:23 whats up with the horse in the back

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

He was pulled from the race and wound up winning the Dubai World Cup twice in a row.

[@jerich8595]

@@ValleyoftheRogue wtg susan LOL They will try very hard to have *Maxfield* {Just Won Grade 1 Keeneland Breeders Futurity *Stylishly* last Saturday and I was there being 6th generation Ky Bred myself LOL} hopefully in next years Ky Derby considering its the only Prestigious Grade 1 The Supreme Ruler of Dubai {Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum} hasn't Won. I'm betting it all if he goes Susan *Go Big Blue Godolphin/Ky Wildcats/Maxfield* LOL

[@MissizSaqib]

Looking at Lee...from 16th to 2nd

[@KoriHarlan]

Always dreaming seams great, but idk if he can complete the triple crown, who knows

[@latinostallion94]

Idk...something about this years derby seemed a little lack luster. I'll admit Thunder Snow was my pick because i really liked the grit he showed in the UAE Derby so i was a little upset that he DNF but it was still a good race just not as exciting i guess for some reason...hope the best for Always Dreaming in the Preakness!

[@BTrip37]

Bet $50 total, only hit one. $10 on Lookin at Lee to place!! Paid over $100!

Always Dreaming=Cousin of American Pharoah

[@Youngboylio]

Classic empire cousin

[@sonnypruitt6639]

All these horses are related to each other! They're not thoroughbreds, they're inbred's!

[@helixcheerleader]

In Thoroughbred parlance you can only have "half-siblings" through the mother. Because a stallion can sire easily 100 foals + each year, it would be weird to all refer them as half-siblings and would become somewhat meaningless in terms of relatedness. Even if they technically share the same dad.

[@sonnypruitt6639]

I wouldn't bet on that.

[@algee8415]

They have the same grand sire. "Related" for horses looks more to the female side. "Half brothers (sisters)" are horses that had the same broodmare and different sires. Horses by the same sire are not referred to as half brothers.

[@rambo_rides8068]

the track was so muddy!

[@mstrunn]

+Rambo Was listed as wet/fast!

[@kathyahern7523]

This horse is direct descendant of Something Royal by PRincequillo. The Same genetic markers as Secretariat... no wonder he ran so esily.. same strides as Secretariat too.

[@mstrunn]

+Kathy Please don't go there, no way is he even remotely in the same class irregardless of pedigree.

[@geerterri]

He is a descendant of both Secretariat and Seattle Slew. Very good genes there.

[@helixcheerleader]

Many horses are descendants of Secreteriat. He is not a "direct" descendant though, Somethingroyal is in his pedigree, but she isn't his direct maternal line.
Also he has a completely different biomechanic from Secretariat.

[@jerich8595]

He got very very lucky that #2 acted up considering he made 15 million after this *Debacle*

[@ericwalsh9353]

i had the late double

[@naus17ify]

The 5 was a chetr

[@charlesfarthing3410]

how could they let the horses run in that mud, there was no way anyone else was gonna catch him they were too muddied up, dirty and weighted down by it, the jockeys could hardly see where they going...get some turf down

[@montanamountaingarden476]

Actually, some horses actually relish the mud and run better in it then on dry surfaces. And the mud isn't the reason Always Dreaming won, it was a combination of both an easy lead and a weak field. And in races like these, jockeys have many pairs of goggles for this and take goggles off as they get muddy

[@skypeenglishexpress]

Horse races are better than sex... almost. Love both activities.

[@unknownartistcl20]

Too minuets of intensity and a climax? :P

[@SumoCumLoudly]

Turned out to be a very weak Derby.

[@joshuajohn9640]

I don't know if this was a whole race because I don't follow this stuff at all but if it is people just paid a lot of money to watch horses run in a circle.

[@makemyday1477]

Well, his mudder was a mudder and her muddier was a mudder.

[@sonnypruitt6639]

This guy buys a racehorse thinking he'll make a lot of money, but after only four races the horse comes in dead last in every race. The owner realizes he's losing money with all the up keep costs, so he angrily go into the stable and yell's at the horse, "If you don't win this race, you'll be pulling a milkwagon in the morning!!!" So they load the horse's into the starting gate, the bell goes off as the gates open, and this horse settles in last behind the field. The jockey goes right to the whip, and with that the horse turns to the jockey and says " Yo! Take it eazy. I got to get up early tomorrow morning and pull a milkwagon!!"

[@jerich8595]

funny joke but would never happen with the supreme ruler of Dubai plus he made 15 million Us Dollars after this Race

[@justincoolvideos632]

[@carolgladfelder272]

Danny Calk I work at a horse track but it was SO LOUD that I couldn't hear it. After listening to this I must agree with you. I work at Portland Meadows which is a small track but even our announcers do much better. This guy was the worst K Derby announcer that I've ever heard.

[@iamanimal924]

what an annoying announcer. i had to put him and his squeaky girl-like voice on mute.

[@jerich8595]

didnt say a word about what happened to thunder snow instantly fired

[@keenice5271]

Absolutely disgraceful that track

[@bconigliaro]

A ridiculous stampede of 20 horses is a big reason we went 37 years without a Triple Crown winner. Limit the Derby field to 12.

[@jerich8595]

No way why? Lets here your reasoning as I hit Barbaro's trifecta for 11k for a $1 LOL it wouldn't have paid 3k in a 12 horse field boooooo LOL

[@colfer222]

joke of a race.....winner only horse not covered in mud...

[@youbidoubidou]

It was a clean win.

[@colfer222]

The winner ran a good race but some of those behind must be carrying 10lbs over weight of mud.....hardly the greatest race in the world

[@helixcheerleader]

Not to mention Classic Empire got mugged so hard McCraken t-boned him and slammed him into a horse on his inside, at the beginning (#17 IWC's jockey was completely reckless out of the gate and killed the race for #12-#16) got squeezed back, then again was bumped into by McCraken in the stretch who forced him out wide after Gormley came to cut in.
Poor horse has a swollen eye and is all cut up today according to the trainer. McCraken is injured and can't go to the Preakness. I hope Rajiv gets fined, this isn't the first time it has happened.

[@Venckman]

I hope so. You'd think that given what he'd been through himself recently, he'd ride more carefully.

[@carolgladfelder272]

colfer222 Kentucky Derby is always the 1st Saturday in May. Rarely has the weather been this bad with such a muddy & sloppy track. So yeah, this derby race was different than most.
