Sonny said the horse is a long distance runner and that he knew how to ride the horse. Well, Sonny really knew how to take advantage of that in the Derby. It was a team magic moment; it was all about knowledge, connection and trust each other. Very proud 💛💙❤

I've never seen another horse turn his head look at the other horse's and then hit a small gap for the winning move! Mind blowing !!

The horse, Rich Strike, can see to his side without turning his head . He turned his head as his rider, Sonny, was signaling him to turn into his right lane and move over for the pass.

Venezuela has always been a horse racing country and they have had horses and other jockeys who have won the Kentucky Derby. Excellent race by Sonny Leon. He's made Venezuelans proud.

IN MY 60 YEARS SURELY ONE OF THE BEST KENTUCKY DERBY WINS, I PRAY HE WINS THE TRIPLE 👑.!

Don't forget, based on starting position Rich Strike actually ran farther than any other horse! That race announcer needs to pay more attention to ALL the horses.

I cant stop watching this race. It never gets old. I scream and cry every time.

Congrats to the amazing duo, Rich Strike and Sonny Leon! Sending love and thank you for bringing so much joy and inspiration to millions of people who watched the 148th KD. You just showed us to NEVER GIVE UP and DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’in yourself.

The fact that the daughter was praying for 9th finish and Richie won made it 10000000000th times sweeter. I'm crying with her.

Another best part was that the commentators were COMPLETELY NOT EXPECTING him to be there till the last moment!!!

Yes! I noticed that too!

Please re-watch the 1973 Kentucky Derby. I know the expectations for Secretariat were much higher than they were for Rich Strike, but Secretariat was dead last going past the grandstand the first time.

Can't imagine what all the favourites were thinking when Rich Strike passed them. Love it!

Miracles do happen. When it seems we are flooded with despair and defeat ~ hoping for a life raft to pull us back to a “safe place” ~ a sincere hand reaches out to remind us NOT TO GIVE UP!!! Thank You!!! Do Not Lose HOPE!!!

Wow! That got me tears to my eyes . How incredible that is .

U r right

Dude, it's the 148th Kentucky Derby, not the 138th. His odds at post time had dropped to 80-1. The payout was on those odds. A similar thing happened in the 2009 Kentucky Derby that Mine That Bird won. His odds were 50-1. He was last most of the way by a huge margin, so much so that the announcer forgot he was back there and had to correct his race call because he called another horse in last place that was ahead of Mine That Bird. He came up the rail on the turn in the mud, and passed all the horses and won with a huge lead at the end. The announcer was also stunned at the end. You can find this race on KZread. It's definitely worth watching.

When that horse looked at the other one it kinda reminds me of when Deion sanders said he doesn’t race he chases he always runs his fastest when he’s trying to catch up to someone and it seemed the horse did the same thing

What I love about this horse and this race, is that 99% of the people did not pick this 80 to 1 long shot, most people did not win money on Rich Strike, people lost money betting on other horses, yet we will ALL say, we love that Rich Strike won this race, and this was the greatest race we ever saw. That alone is a beautiful thing. Yet, once we learn all the facts of a truly epic great story, does not matter how invested we were initially, we fall in love with the horse, his owner, the jockey, the whole team, and the story of literally over coming ALL the odds stacked against them. The owner had a tragic barn fire 2 yrs ago, Rich Strike was purchased for $30,000, originally Rich Strike was not even supposed to be in the race, he was a last-minute fill-in for a scratched horse. Rich Strike was a 80 to 1 long shot, which made this the biggest upset in horse racing history. In the first few seconds of the race Rich Strike was dead last, at one point in the race it did not look like Rich Strike was going to be able to make it through the huge pack ahead of him. Against all odds, literally all odds, this horse ran down the entire field and won the Kentucky Derby. That will give a lot of people hope for themselves and others, for what we are going through in life. So even though millions of people did not win a dime on Rich Strike, we still love the fact that Rich Strike and the entire team won. This literally was the greatest horse race ever. God what you did for Rich Strike and his whole team, please do for America.

… he held his line into the final turn… the whole middle of the pack went wide… he had plenty of room and moved inside along the rail… the zig-zag move down the stretch got him the win… amazing…

Beautiful!! So happy for them. I have attended the Derby! True Southern charm and inspiration!! Amen.

80-1 odds if only know beforehand. Thank you again, Andrew for all the info you give us. You make watching interesting.

the fact they lost 23 horses to a barn fire in 2016 makes this even more special!

Andrew u have been a blessing keep us up with the great news ur the best and god bless 🙏🙏

I didn’t even see any tears… and yes this was the best K.D I have ever seen… Glad I got to witness this…

Should've shown the overhead view.

A natural winner with no controversy a true winner love that hard working horse hope he becomes a triple crown winner!!!!!

Hi. I noticed you used my edit where I messed up the 138th annual title. I removed that video out of request to change the title to the correct one. I'm humbled and grateful you saw it because I can't have it up anymore due to a copyright claim :( Feels awesome to see you using my video even though it was the one with the messed-up title.

Great race, love it Andrew.

That was so good! Hope that Rich Strike can continue to shock the world and win the next race!

it all began december 2021.........the art of suggestion begins.......MIND-BLOWING

God’s miracle -LOVED IT

The opening pool placed Rich Strike at 99-1, but the closing pool placed him at about 81-1. He paid $163.6 on a $2 bet. He ran the race in 2:2.61.

The trainers and owners weren't sure where the horse was either. Absolutely an unbelievable story

That first half mile pace slowed down finishers like Zandon at the end, couldn’t have scripted it better for Rich Strike, do you think the Preakness will have a slower start ?

After that race I had to play Spike Jones 'Beetlebaum' (William Tell Overture).

From this amazing horse story race ever and from this I’m a fan of derby from swimming to horse racing.. but I have 1 question and I’m sorry I don’t understand what is the meaning of 1-80? Please help me understand this

Muy bueno el análisis de la carrera, pero creo que le faltó comentar lo bien de la conducción del jinete Sonny Leon

You got that wrong. In 2009 Mind That Bird was way last for half the race and went on to win by 6 lengths.

GOOD EVENING 👍 👍 👍

Awesome!

The radio bit is the best…

WOW AMAZING SONNY LEON ORGULLO DE VENEZUELA THANK YOU RICH STRIKE

Sonny Leon rode a genius ride

I felt mixed emotions everytime I watch this video i was in tears of Joy when his trainer eric reed lied down when he finally seen his horse get first to the finish line and his friends where all happy the daughters wish is 9th place she couldnt believe her eyes rich strike won the Kentucky derby

Before I used to play alot awsome

Mine that Bird went from last to first in the Kentucky Derby too.

Good for them ppl who won

I love this horse.

Yes

Still here listening to Andrew!!!

Reminded me of mine that bird 2009 such amazing moment

You have to wonder how many people actually made a fortune on this by always betting on the longest shot possible just for the hell of it.

Hello Andrew

Great jockey!

How long before the movie comes out?

Good

wow~!!!!

Keen Ice the sire of Rick Strike also a longshot when he upset American Pharoah

🙏

Imagine the payout on the Exacta!

Hi

That horse is a monster we’re gonna see more him we may see a Triple Crown this year he could’ve ran 2 miles that day

If we would have went my boyfriend picked that house always picks the longest long shot

so how much did YOU WIN......

One thing I have noticed is, SOMETHING needs to be done to make the horse and jockey stand out from one to the other. WAY too easy to lose where "your" horse is in the middle of the pack. Make the horse and jockey one solid color and different from the others. And 2, clearly Rich Strike was the fastest horse. That's why he won.

That horse hauled some butt

The last shall be first 🥇

“Last man standing.”

I wanted to know how fast this horse was going.

3:24 Does anyone know why he pulled the horse to his right and into some traffic when he could have gone straight along the rail and avoided running into more traffic? It there a strategy where a horse will run faster if he/see another horse speeding up and is that a reason the jockey did so?

He saw a better hole to shoot into, that's all. The rail was going to get crowded. Once he got clear of the horse in front of him, it was wide open to the finish.

The inside was what they call squishy, or soft and when you make a move to the inside it is a dangerous place...better to make your moves to the outside if there's room...Sonny Leon is a helluva rider..

KENTUCKY DERBY!!!

Cool video despite this guy (the commentator) not knowing what he's talking about. Near the beginning of the race he stops the video and singles out the 5 or so leaders and states that they are the favorites to when in fact epicenter was the favorite and not in the shot. Rich Strike was 80-1 long shot, not 99-1. Get your facts correct Andrew.

Not the first KY Derby horse to hit the first quarter pole last and win the race: Secretariat (1973)
