Wouldn’t that be amazing? I hope you’re right. It’s just what we need in this country right now. A hopeful story about a good horse and a group of truly good people. But, whatever happens Richie will always be the $30.000.00 claimer who was an 80 to 1 shot and won the 2022 Kentucky Derby. And that right there is enough to help us remember never to give up because anything is possible. WOW!!!
@terinash6092 жыл бұрын
Non horse people do not realize the strength and power of a thoroughbred race horse. Also when they are in race mode they are transfixed on getting ahead of the horse in front of them. I am so glad Eric explained Richie’s behavior. Also can you imagine the noise and energy coming from that crowd ? That would only amp Richie up more. Thank God for that experienced out rider. I hope he heals quickly. A horse bite can get nasty. The jabs he threw at Richie would not hurt Richie at all. It was to get his attention and get him to follow the commands of the jokey. Congratulations to all involved in Rich Strike winning the Kentucky Derby. For those people who know nothing about horse, especially high bred thoroughbreds don’t judge the actions of these professional horse people.

When Secretariat ever lost a race his groom Eddie Sweat spoke about how "Red," as he was affectionately known as, would go to the back of the stall and stare at the corner. The next time he would win a race and set a new track record. Thoroughbreds are magnificent animals. I've been watching these horses now for 19 years and they are incredible.

I have seen that in no comment they mention the Venezuelan jockey Sonny Leon, I know that the race was made by the horse but I think that the jockey has part of that credit, but I imagine that if he had been from the United States They would name him a little more, that's my opinion, but they should also honor the rider, he is the one who guides the horse in the race and the one who encourages the horse to continue. Greetings from Venezuela.

Interesting about the end after the race struggle. What happened to the tradition of bringing a stable mate friend horse to the race to go out with the horse to the gate and meet up after to go back to the barn with. Often not a race horse just some nice calm tempered horse often being ridden by one of the grooms. It seemed to be less problematic when that was done since the race horse would not be thinking uh oh here comes some more racing competition but instead would be thinking ah my old friends must be time to go rest. Apparently Richie thought the other horse was a continuation of the race so resented the guy grabbing his bridle.
