The loyalty for the owner and trainer to stick with their regular jockey can not be underestimated , most big time trainers and owners would've gone with a big time name jockey but guess what , Sonny looked just as good as any of the very best ! ! CONGRATS ! !

Not really,THEY DIDNT HAVE TIME,the horse wasnt in the race until Friday morning,all the top jockeys already had mounts for the race
@daviddempsey67142 жыл бұрын
For whatever the reason no jockey was better on that day that's for sure and many jocks are overrated cashing in on better mounts then the underated unknown riders get ! I don't believe they would have looked for another rider even if they were in a month ago trainers don't switch jocks for a race they go with who knows the horse

Understanding so little about the Kentucky Derby and the horses, their owners, the trainers and jockeys that do the racing. All I know is stories like SEABISCUIT and SECRETARIAT. But, when I watched this race I wanted to meet this team, and the jockey and his horse. That will never happen but I am so insanely happy for Mr Dawson, Mr. Reed, Mr. Sonny Leon and this amazing equine named Richie! Bravo!!!!🥰

Beyond great to have people and a horse that nobody knew win the whole thing . One important factor here is this simple people don't have access to the drugs that all the big name crooks such as Baffert have been using for years and never get caught , so let's hope this become a trend , average connections winning ! ! !
@davidj.72272 жыл бұрын
He would not have won that race if the jockey didn't have the stones to slide Rich Strike into that 4 wide tight spot. Once it opened in front of him they were out of there in a speed the rest of the field couldn't match. That horse was so fast in the final 200 meters. My Gawd!

Great examples of leadership. Owner credits the trainer, the trainer credits the jockey, the jockey credits the horse. And the trainer's Dad just says I am proud as I can be. The more you push credit to others on the team, the more you are truly deserving. That was a hell of a team. And Love the simplicity,. Why did you take the path wide around the last horse on the rail rather than seeing if could push through on the rail? The jockey: "I got a horse." He knew that have him options. The trainer, responding to "how did this happen"? "He passed them all." Yup.

The reason this is so special is the FACT that a horse with elite talent and no speed pills inside it beat horses that have.This can happen but unfortunately not very often.The medicated horses sometimes will not feel great and run flat,this is exactly what happened here.I must say that the winning jockey has tremendous ability well done.

I’d like to know: after hearing about tragic barn fires that have happened over the years, why, with such valuable inhabitants, do these barns not have up to date fire sprinklers etc. These areas are usually very hot and dry. I just don’t get it.
@debrabiderman42752 жыл бұрын
John barns burn. There is a problem with storing hay. It can become highly combustible. Even under the best of conditions with sprinklers etc. Barns can catch fire. I had some friends whose barn burned down because some kid working for the volunteer fire dept wanted to be a hero. Not only did horses die in the fire my friend almost died as they were driving to the barn and one of the horses that had been turned loose crashed Into their truck. The whole thing was horrendous. When a barn catches fire the horses become very frightened and do not want to leave the perceived safety of their stalls. Each horse must be led by hand in a blindfold because they panic at even the smell of smoke. Newer barns are better. But hay is a combustible and stables are old.

Reed trained Rinterval who was the only filly that even came close to beating Zenyatta. It was a nail-biting Clement Hirsch stakes in 2010. Photo finish. Rinterval only lost by a nose. P. S. Out of 16 races, Rinterval had only one win (The Wintergreen at Turfway Park) which made it uncanny that she nearly beat Zenyatta.

St. Trinians almost beat Zenyatta as well but in the Hirsch she had that one measured and had taken over by the furlong pole.

@@raygordonteacheschess5501 Not the 2010 Hirsch. It was a photo finish with Rinterval who lost by a nose. St. Trinians lost the 2010 Vanity Handicap by more than a head. Both races were nailbiters for sure but the one with Rinterval was the closest.
