some story... and what an amazing comeback with rich strike

[@SnidgetAsphodel]

Such an incredible story. Hoping for the best for them!

rich strike is still loved even though he did not win the belmont stakes. he will have other chances. he has fantastic genes. the father of rich strike is keen ice. the mother of rich strike is gold strike. his grandfathers are curlin and smart strike. all 4 were very good race horses. still cannot believe calumet farm put him in a $30,000 claiming race (his second race) as a 2 year old after finishing last the race prior (his first race). i am sure reed was following him since he was a baby. good for dixon junior, leon, reed and dawson. reed is the mastermind behind rich strike. he is surrounded by many solid people. it is good to hear that reed cares more about the health of a horse versus profit. rich strike is such a beautiful powerful horse. america needs this fairy tale story to continue and it will.

I’m afraid that he won’t win another big race again. A horse that’s dependent on a very fast pace to win hardly wins many races. There’s a reason he was 80-1

Amen ..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@tterry1604]
