It’s not where you start, but where you finish. 2022 Kentucky Derby.
What an awesome race. Rich Strike starts in the last stall. He runs a masterful and methodical race. His first move from the gate is, of course, to head for the rail; however, he knows he doesn’t have to grab it all at once. He settles in the middle and is even in 16th place at the far turn.
He then threads the needle and works the traffic. One of his best moves is going to the outside of the #6 (Messier) instead of inside. He’s got to be brushing the #6 as he passes him. The play-by-play guy, Larry Collmus, doesn’t mention Rich Strike’s name again until 5 seconds before the race is over.
They ran the fastest quarter mile in the race’s history. Rich Strike’s win was the second worst odds in 148 runs.
Here’s a couple of videos. Rich Strike is #21 with the red capped jockey. The second one is a great overhead shot. I think Larry Collmus is one of the best at what he does.
Great race call. Great thundering hooves in the audio. If this doesn’t get your blood flowing, then nothing will. Man, I love racing!
