I could tell Tom Durkin had goosebumps all the way given the little jumps in his voice throughout. Just awesome!

Mine That Bird was such a great little gelding though. All heart, all try.

I love Rachel but a little longer race and Mine that Bird would have caught her.

@@Devsfan202 That's why the Preakness is only 1 3/16 miles long. It forces you to win at a shorter distance.

This year was a repeat. Mystik Dan wasn’t 50-1, but he skimmed the paint on the rail to get to the lead and wasn’t noticed.

I have zero clue about horseracing so can someone tell me how much the Jockey influences the outcome of a race ? Loved watching these Mine that Bird clips and the Derby win.

A jockey is probably the second most important aspect of a horse race. They’ve got to be knowledgeable enough to know each horse they ride, know what those horses need, where to put them, and when to ask them for some speed. This is even more impressive when you consider the fact that many big name jockeys ride in several graded stakes races in the same day on completely different horses. The best jockeys will bring out the best in any horse.

I think a lot of this is actually shown pretty good in the movie Seabiscuit, I definitely recommend watching if you haven’t already.

Calvin Borel ruined a triple crown as MTB could have beaten RA if he stayed on him

Mike Smith was on MTB- he could have caught her if there was room on the inside

Casual take. You got your jockeys amd horses mixed up.

@@Devsfan202 Don't understand all this "speculation" that Mine That Bird would've caught Rachel Alexandra if: he hadn't had to go wide; Calvin Borel would've ridden him; the race would've been a little longer, etc. Rachel Alexandra was the best horse that day, plain and simple.
