Very happy for his trainer ...post-race interview was so nice, seeing his mentor, Todd Pletcher give him a shoulder embrace! There was a bit of talk about Rombauer ahead of the race over the last few days and he came through!
To each his own. I don't know whether McCarthy cheats, but I know Pletcher, a onetime D Wayne Lukas assistant, is right up there with Baffert and Assmussen in terms of the number of drug violations on his rap sheet. Trainers have been trying to get an edge for as long as they've been racing horses. My father was a horse player, and he knew a few of the local trainers at Finger Lakes. One of the trainers came over for dinner one evening and revealed his plan to use "something (undetectable) he found in South America" to juice one of his horses for an upcoming race. My dad was to place some hefty wagers with bookmakers throughout Central NY. I can't recall if it worked. There was one jockey who would tell us when he was going to stiff a horse and when he was going to use a buzzer. In the post parade, it was either "whip down" (stiff job) or "whip up" (the buzzer). Still, with all of that, it really didn't get completely corrupted until Lukas came along. I'm not sure how he fared in the post-race tests. I think he beat them nearly all the time, but everyone "knew" he was training horses on steroids and perhaps something else. His 2yo fillies were muscled up and filled out like 4yo colts. Now, the list of top money-winning trainers reads like a Who's Who of serial drug offenders, most with at least a couple dozen post-race positive tests on their rap sheets.
@@wingsrbeasts I wasn't. It's a sad state of affairs. If you don't enforce drug rules, the cheaters win. If you do, the handful of trainers -- all cheaters -- who train most of the best horses refuse to run them, and you have a 6-horse field in a Classic. Either way, fans and bettors lose. It can't or won't be fixed until or unless these cheaters are facing criminal charges and driven right out of the sport.
The last 2 Preakness Stakes ( '20-'21) have been coming close to Secretariat's record time of 1:53 . After all these years (1973) Secretariat's records still stand. Amazing !
Rombauer ran a very fast race, 2nd fastest in the last 12 years. Midnight Bourbon was a worthy 2nd and actually ran a fast time himself, he's gonna be a force to be reckoned with in the handicap division as he matures, especially being by Tiznow who matured late himself.
@@rcg9573 But it always is sped up a bit on these days anyway. Look at the spread between the horses, that tells you its not just the track. And it wasnt that fast actually
Sorry, but if you think these horses were the 2nd fastest group of horses to run in the Preakness in over 10 years keep believing that. LOL Nice race by Rombauer by the way.
I did want Medina Spirit to win for the possibility of a Triple Crown but my heart leaped when I saw Rombauer move up the inside and when his jockey gave him a opening to the outside, he took it, seeing only dirt track in front of him! Look forward to his run in the Belmont Stakes!
Rombauer is a TERRIFIC winery in Napa if you ever have had the pleasure. Not sure if it was the inspiration for the name, but congrats to Team Rombauer nonetheless! Perfect trip after saving ground then busted loose. Tiny horse, big heart.
@@agustindejesus7398 Well what I’m saying is that the 2019 Kentucky Derby was by Country House by way of a DQ. People attacked Prat afterwards online, so it’s nice to see that he gets vindication here.
I just wish NBC devoted more time to Rombauer before the race, who I knew had a chance along with the top 2. Everything was about Baffert, Drug violation. And then they don't do as many profiles on the other horses
@Matt N 100% agree. I liked Rombauer for days leading up to the race but wasn't sure about a win. Knew he had a good chance to hit the board because there would be a good pace up front. When I heard NBC's Eddie Olczyk say "Rombauer looks like a beast" in the walk up that gave me the confidence to increase my bet across the board. Just a great, great race and Flavien knew what to do.
@@Oswald_Thatendswald have you actually watched any of the secretariat wins, in particular the belmont? that will never ever be repeated. and maybe mentioning it will inspire people to learn more about big red.
Except that his owner John Fradkin says that there is only a 50/50 chance that will happen. He’s thinking of running Rombauer in NYRA’s Turf Triple instead. Weaker competition, easy money, sure thing. Fradkin is a long-time handicapper and big-time gambler who got into the breeding and racing business so that he could make more informed bets. The stronger the competition and the bigger the field in a race, the less likely his horse would place in the money and the less likely he would enter the horse in that race.
I don’t think so. The Preakness tends to be won by decent miler types most of the time. That’s why they took a shot with Rachel Alexandra years ago......because she was a great miler and had the speed to get out there and get a lead and hold off the closers. They skipped the Belmont with her because they knew she’s never get a mile and a half. Same thing with Red Bullet in 2000....he was a great miler but that was it.
This was what in the making for Rombauer he took his time and learn the pace of the big guns said he's was a derby prospect, The belmont and breeders cup in line 👍👍

Thank goodness, it’s supposed to be impossible to accomplish, but these days everyone thinks it’s a given to whichever horse wins the derby. Most derby winners just get lucky and usually never run like that again. That’s what the Kentucky Derby is all about. It’s not about going on to try for a triple crown. That’s not what the derby was originally run for. The Derby is for everyone with a worthy 3 year old to come and compete in a mile and a quarter race against, what could be, a large field of other good 3 years old, for a gold cup, a monetary purse and bragging rights. The triple crown is only for the most greatest of 3 year olds. Medina Spirit does not fit into the triple crown category. He fits into the Monkeys me that Bird category....ran a great derby but likely won’t ever repeat that effort again.
Watched this live and picked the winner with no money on it but it was so intense I was screaming at the TV when he let him go out of that last turn. “LATERRRRRR”
It was not a good day for bettors. They sent Manchego off 9 to 2 at the Medowlands the same day if you can believe that one. The overlay of the entire century. I still can't believe it.
Race couldn't have been set up for the winner any better. Top 2 in the betting were just at each other on the lead the whole way. Credit to them for finishing so close, but winner was superb.

@@donaldsheeley184 What is his name. please?
@@youtubegregg Larry Collmus
Watched this live and picked the winner with no money on it but it was so intense I was screaming at the TV when he let him go out of that last turn. “LATERRRRRR”
Love his name! Would love to know how the connections came up with it. Also like the name, Mandaloun. Wish he had been in this race.
Great race!!!
I always felt that the favourite was going to lose.
It was not a good day for bettors. They sent Manchego off 9 to 2 at the Medowlands the same day if you can believe that one. The overlay of the entire century. I still can't believe it.
He should never have been the favourite in the first place. Absolutely lucky to win the Derby.
@@thomashong2938 yea but most derby winners become favorites
@@thomashong2938 yes, true.
@@parkerbohnn Jesus, I didn't know that, yesterday I was watching Belmont, Pimlico and Charles Town.
No triple crown winner this year. But the time was close to Secretariat at 153. This horse got 153.62 wow almost.
Race couldn't have been set up for the winner any better. Top 2 in the betting were just at each other on the lead the whole way. Credit to them for finishing so close, but winner was superb.
Great win.
Well done Flavien
Now!.... that’s a race
My dad was there
What is price
Very Exciting Finish! That Kid Can Ride!
MS had company MB was glued to him didn't give him a breather 1:10 for 6F really too fast just had nothing left in the stretch MB had no excuse
In that case both had no excuse right or both were tired each other out?
@@JorgeLopez-zv1or true but i thought MB might hold on but the winner was flying
Great ride by Prat
