Brendan Fraser as Eric Reed and Denis Quaid as Rick the owner.

It could be made into a great movie as long as Disney is not involved.

We have to wait till the Preakness and the Belmont stakes. Right now he's like California Chrome. If he wins the Preakness and Belmont? Yeah the movie will be out soon

I hope so

@@markrobinson1135 Rich Strike isn't racing Preakness, though.

I would agree except for the final 150 yards. RS got around that horse. Sonny didn't move him, he looked and went, then he is looking at the leaders with a faceful of mud. Then ran by them. Sonny was keeping him him moving with the whip. Rich strike won that race on heart in the last 200'.

@@thereissomecoolstuff Are you blind? Watch sonny bravely steered Rich Strike behind fading horse at the rail then chased the leading horses and won!😅😅😅

@@gabbargado6242 look at sonny's left hand. If you call that steering more power to you. The horse looked and went on the opening. Do you push a horse or steer with the reins. I'm saying the horse went for it. Went to the races today. Saw a great finish. Same move only way tighter at the finish line. He steered the horse. Btw was Kevin Radke at Emerald Downs. 4 races 4 wins. The dude is a horse driver.

Absolutely one of the best rides in history. Sonny was Brillant!!

@@thereissomecoolstuff You 'steer ' a horse with your whole body.

I noticed Rich Strike looking at the horse he was about to pass for the win! What a horse!!!

@@KayInMaine You made me watch it again and wow I saw what you saw. I bet he was thinking look at me I got ya! beat.

@@xlr8tedzoom Such a great moment!!!

I saw that!!! What do you mean by saving him?? Don't know much about horses but I Noticed right away he was looking at the other Horses while knowing he was gonna pass them

@@bluv4579 generally that means saving the horse early in the race (not going after the hot pace) and then making a move late in the race to come on strong at the end.

It was incredible!

Me too. I have watched it at least 50 times. I didn't know anything about it. Watched and saw RS looking around. Loved it.

usted habla del caballo pero sin ese jinete no gana por que Sony conocía el caballo por eso lo llamaron para que lo condujeru en el Derby

A brilliant team..a beautiful ride!

So could we! What a race. Will live on in the history books forever!

It gives me goosebumps!!

So far I've watched it 18 times.😃 It just gives you such a good feeling watching that drone view. Goose bumps galore every time I watch it. What a horse. And that jockey made sure he had no beefs while weaving in and out of horses . He did it so easily and also had the horse pick up speed while weaving. GREAT jockey/horse duo I've ever seen since Chrome and Victor. Sonny and Richie got it done and thrilled us while they did it. LOVE that whole team. The grooms, I mean you can tell they love Richie. The whole team deserved that win. 👍 I wonder if anybody bet on him?

Is he going to the Preakness? Wow. What a bargain for 30 grand.

Rightly said Molly cox

Ban horse racing!!!! Leon (among many other in the business) is an animal abuser. This is his 5th time being suspended, most recent was literally due to physical harm of a horse. Check out THINK LIKE A HORSE on YT, he’ll breakdown the amount of pain Rich was in. This business is both a-moral and unethical.

Awesome race ❤So good to have the derbies back!!💫

I agree! So many horses are wrecked by too much too soon philosophy. This stable is a notch above. 👌

He BULLIED that spot, but GOD DAMN, what perfect pivot.. zoom zoom

He was virtually telling other horses "I am gonna beat you"!

I noticed that. He was the Only one looking at the other horses 🐎 KNOWING he was gonna catch them. WOWWW

Ok, I know nothing about racing but I knew that he was looking at the others and just pushing to win, he is so cute!

Why do you say infamy?

Do you think they cheated?

@@robmckrobmck5567 No, I don't think they cheated. I don't feel Medina Spirit won the Derby as a result of being drugged either. He was robbed. My comment was just a poor choice of words. I edited it.

@@jen7662 If they ban the sport low-level horses will be sent to slaughter. Blue blood horses will continue to be bred and sold to countries like China and Korea, where they will be abused, raced, bred, and eventually slaughtered. Horses are expensive and rescues are full and underfunded. Be careful what you wish for. You don't understand the consequences. More oversight is needed for the sport and thoroughbred slaughter needs to be banned, all horse slaughter should be banned actually. Abusers in racing need to get lifetime bans as well. It's sad to hear about Leon. If true, he doesn't deserve to have any mounts.

Rich Strike Certainly Struck it Rich 🤑

🙌🙌🙌

Love that horse so much no words could ever express. All the red roses what a day for everyone, kisses tears and cheers, love love and never ending love oh beauty you won with wings that carried you to glory

Like u i watched it over n over...u just gotta love that horse and got take hats off to Sonny, where he put that horse was a piece of traffic jam that looked impassable...it was just crazt

@@jen7662 where the heck did that come from

@@jen7662 Yes Jen there are abusers in the horse racing business. That's why Leon probably runs on only small tracks. I remember watching A.P Indy run and all you had to do was show him the whip then he would turn his head down and run like you never scene a horse run. I don't like the way they breed horses now either. If I remember right I read that every horse that ran on derby day had Northern Dancer blood in them.

Very emotional!

Rich Strike seem to be touched by God! He was meant to win to send a message!

@@angela776 Amen GOD is in control!

He laid his hands on the horse and prayed over him before the race according to an interview with him. He's a 4th generation groom in his family.

@@bungalowdweller I believe GOD answers His faithful servants.

@@christinepeniaranda8484 AMEN🙏🏻🙏🏻

His groom is very comfortable with Rich Strike and vice versa. That's the way it's supposed to be.

He’s still a baby at 3 years of age and he’ll bond with who takes care of him. He seems to have that type of temperament ….like a big pet. Some race horses are just plain mean. I saw a man savaged by a race horse just walking past his stall. The horse lunged his head out of the stall and sunk his teeth into the man’s jacket…pulling him halfway into the stall. I’ll never forget his screams for help. I ran over as did a few others to help him. He was okay because his down jacket took the bite but he banged up his arm on the stall door. After that, the barn manager put up netting over that horses stall door. He was a former race horse and he had a bad temperament. John Henry was nasty…didn’t like people.. some are lovable and some are not.

@@penelopelopez8296 believe me, Rich Strike is not a pet. He has a mean temperament and will bite anybody. That's why they keep the stud chain through his mouth attached to his halter. He bit the pony girl before the race and bit her pony twice. An outrider had to take over from her and lead him the rest of the way to the gate. After the race he bit that pony at least a couple of times, grabbed its right rein and wouldn't let go, and then bit the outrider badly on the leg and twice on the arm. He is inbred close up in his 2nd and 3rd generations to Smart Strike, who was a very aggressive stallion like the one you described. They had to put cones in front of his stall at Lane's End farm because he tried to bite everybody who walked by. They also had to muzzle him and sometimes needed two grooms to handle him. So, Rich Strike comes by his bad temperament naturally.

@@jen7662 Rick Gore has some good things to say about horsemanship, but in horseracing he misses the mark. Horseracing is not perfect, but for the most part they are trying to do the right thing for the horse. Rich Strike was not in pain. He put the pain on two people that day and on two horses with multiple bad bites. Rick over generalizes things in horseracing without looking at the real facts and statistics and says all people are crooks and animal abusers and only in it for the money, which is not true. The things he said in his video about Rich Strike's trainer, owner and jockey, without any real knowledge or proof, is nothing short of slander. I was appalled at what he said about them. His anger towards them was very troubling in my opinion. He missed the most important thing about that video, which was that Rich Strike was biting the pony and he had ahold of its right rein for much of the time which caused the pony to spin around and rear up because he couldn't get away from being yanked by Rich Strike. Even when people pointed out to Rick that he missed this in his review, he never acknowledged that or addressed it. If he really wanted to get to the bottom of what was going on with Rich Strike, he might have done some research to find out that he savaged two other horses, bit the pony girl before the race, and seriously injured the other outrider with three bad bites, plus the fact that this horse is mean and tries to bite everybody. If Rick was in that situation and had other horses, riders and many many other people's safety to worry about as the outrider did, he may well have been forced to hit a horse on his nose to get him to release the rein and to keep him from biting him and possibly others nearby on the track too.

I clove it too… 😀

And the owners are cowards, too afraid to race him in the Preakness.

@@GermanShepherd1983 actually they're thinking of the horse's well-being rather than money.

@@GermanShepherd1983 Wrong! They care about their horse more than money.

@@fasbc Well if the horse is such a broken down old nag maybe they shouldn't have entered him in the Derby.

@@GermanShepherd1983 you have shown everyone what type of person you are! You need to call a therapist and start to work on yourself.

Preakness winner isn't running in the Belmont.

He's bred from Curlin, he's got genes!

Imagine if he Won the Belmont !! WITCH HE won't ! But what IF 😂

The biting and aggression is in inherited thing from his grand daddy, Smart Smike. He was a notoriously hard to handle horse and often passed his toughness and biting to his offspring. His tongue rolling out of his mouth is in a playful mode. He is not in distress. And he's got a chain on because he's a stallion and very aggressive without it. It's not a habit anyone will break him of, that's the sire line. As for the whips, they're soft tipped on the end and do not leave marks. They've been redesigned over the years to be kinder to the horse.

I have seen Monty Robert work a few horses in a clinic, but I really like Welsh trainer Steve Young (watch his work on YT for some darn simple looking techniques, but you know it took years to get that finesse) much better for a quite amazing guy who learned a lot from Buck Braniman (sp). The movie Buck (documentary) is quite telling about horse training. Buck was the double for Robert Redford in the movie The Horse Whisperer. Also was the inspiration for the movie and provided the horses. Horse racing is one thing, but to look for real pain and suffering look into the gaited horses. That really chills me. It is very tricky, I imagine, to want your horse as high as a kite so it will run like a cheetah. So they probably try not to discipline too strenuously. Bloodlines do have quite the influence. It is amazing to watch this horse run past everyone as if they were standing still. That was just mind-blowing. Must have been a crazy, fun (in retrospect) ride. Great weaving that jockey accomplished.

Yes! When my husband told me about this I thought the same thing...and he sure is a beautiful chestnut as well.

The will be the most watched Belmont Since 1973 even without the Triple Crown on the line !!! 🎯

For good reason: Secretariat's sire was Bold Ruler. Rich Strike's dame comes from Bold Ruler...but several generations further. The horses are distant cousins.

I hope that you win the Belmont.
