Better hope there’s a hot early pace or Epicenter will run off with this derby. Go watch War Emblem from 2002….nobody took the horse serious and they let him get out to an easy lead and he ran off with it. These closers need a decent pace up front or they’re not closing.
I like that he overcame heavy traffic in the stretch and still surged to victory. I like that he has a big heart, doesn't quit. And I like his jock, Flavien Prat, he's as good as there is.
They claim closing in KY Derby makes Zandon difficult to pick; however look at the 93 Derby, and Sea Hero's victory, weaving through, traffic. They even look a bit alike, and both used this race as prep, though SH finish 2nd or 3rd in Blue Grass, BUT, most important an improving closing move. Chad Brown has never won the KY Derby, hard to imagine that lasting much longer
If they allow Epicenter to get an easy lead and nobody puts any pressure on him early, he’ll run off with derby. He’ll pull, what I like to call a War Emblem. Can’t let the speed get out to an easy lead and set slow fractions…they’ll never catch him if they do. That’s why speed can be dangerous at Churchill if it goes unchallenged. Someone has got to go with the speed and make sure that pace is honest.
Zandon is a very talented horse, but he can't stay out of trouble. He has yet to have a clean trip in 4 races, and that is not going to work in the derby with 20 horses.
The Risen Star is a key race, Epicenter beat Zandon handily and moved on to win the Louisiana Derby convincingly while rating. He will get the jump on Zandon in the Derby making Epicenter my choice.
Epicenter is the class of the derby right now but Zandon lost his footing out the gate and was hopelessly behind horses. He made up a lot of ground in the stretch though. I believe these two horses are definite win contenders for the derby despite the final result of the Risen Star.
Cool idea for a channel but how does it work using copyrighted footage? Do you get copyright stirkes or are you allowed to upload the footage but the copy right owners of the race footage get to the ad revenue or share the ad revenue with you? Nice editing and good idea for a channel though. I just wonder how using original race replays from the telecasts work. Thanks!
Not monetized yet but I do get strikes... the ad revenue goes to the other party. They don't mind you using the footage but they get the ad money. I'm hoping for some ad revenue sharing in the future but not there yet.
@@discoveringhorseracing3078 Thanks for the feedback Gary. No doubt you will get it soon thjs time of year. You will rack up 4000 watch hours in no time. These race replays videos will bring viewers to your channel. Then have videos waiting for us to view that you don't have to share revenue. But nice concept for a channel even if you have to share revenue. All the best and thanks again for the insight!
If he runs his Remsen he has a chance. Closers haven't worked in the derby since Mine that Bird. The Bluegrass race won't work. If he's 10-1 ill bet him. Single digits, no ty.
I love a closer & this horse has everything it takes to win the KD
Look at Zandon's intro picture! Absolutely dowsed in sand from head to hoof.
That right there is your Kentucky Derby winner. Epicenter slows too much down the stretch.
Zandon's a stalker. mho
I think there will be a hot early pace and Zandon should by flying the last 1/8th👍👍

Zandon eats a lot of dirt but forges on.
Here's your Kentucky derby winner for 2022.
He's bred to run forever and has the right running style.
If he runs that bluegrass race back in the derby he is the winner
This horse, Zandon, is my best guess for the Derby.
White Abarrio? Epicenter?
I enjoyed your video. If you can put the horse you featured number up then you can watch the horse all the way . Ty look forward to more .
ZANDON 🐎 💗👍
That’s was a brilliant ride by Flavian in the Blue Grass. He will need that patience in the Derby.

What I learned from this is Epicenter looks like a beast.
yep! But Taiba looked best in last race was super fast beat Messier a great horse
White Abarro might have best trip behind Epi and Messier
Little dark horse with a big heart
LET'S GO ZANDON!

Epi, mo and zan
Letttsss goooo!!!
Derby winner!
Echo Zulu/Kathleen O exacta box in Oaks
It's really something that Pioneer of Medina had to stick it to Zozos, but he let Epicenter just have his way up front. Feels rigged.
White Abrarrio is your Kentucky Derby winner.
Epicenter/White Abarrio/Mo Donegal Exacta
Epicenter /White Abario is a play with the TIZ horse in 3rd
But if Messier and Epicenter hook up too fast - white Abario stalks and long shot comes in 2nd
I need him to finish my Oaks derby DD

That's the winner guys
Epicenter blew zandon away in the risen star!!

That's impressive. But I hate Bluegrass preps
This was a weak prep, it just looked impressive, he’ll probably run 4th in the derby at best 🤷🏾♂️
Yes
No chance time too slow
HMM? So hard to fight traffic and Epicenter creamed this horse- PASS! Though beauiful horse
