I was at Claiborne the morning of the race. Was pretty cool to see the barn he was born in, then immediately drive to Churchill and see him win the Derby that same day.
I saw this race from my spot on the backside that I have occupied for the past 5 years - while the horses were circling in front of us for the post parade all of the other horses were fretting, prancing & nervous - Orb was calm, cool & collected and the look he gave me as he passed by was of pure confidence
At 2:23 you can see that Orb got distracted, was looking to the right, and as a result slowed his pace. At 2:29 he finally focuses on the race again, and immediately surges ahead. Without that temporary distraction, Orb would have won by a couple more lengths.
I believe Johnny V was turning his head to the right as Normandy Invasion was tired and starting to lug his way. I think Johnny was trying to move him out a bit more to prevent getting bumped.
LOVED IT! What a horse! Was so wide, and was every bit the best horse in the race! Revolutionary and Golden Soul got ground saving tricks while Orb covered lots more ground and went way wide and still won by daylight!
I got to see this race from the rail on the backstretch. To say that this experience was magical is an understatement. It was a lifetime opportunity and I will forever remember every second of it!
I think Mike Smith has fallen into a rut of taking whatever horse he is riding into a front running position and hoping that they can hold on.. wherever they are naturally a front runner or not. It showed in this race, Palace Malice could not keep going with the pace that Smith was setting him. Bad ride. Set it up for the back markers.
When Orb grabs the lead he veered right causing Golden Soul to stop his push and move right, because he won by 2 lengths he wasn't disqualified, if it was by a neck Golden soul is your winner..
I just saw Orb at Claiborne so watching this replay and reading some of the comments. I'm not sure what you're looking at but Orb and Golden Soul don't even come remotely close to touching. There must be at least 5 feet between them at their closest point. A horse will never be DQ'd for interference if no contact is made. In fact, that happens all the time, practically in every race.
A hero with enough humility to create these moments and then quietly return to his stall not breathing a word about how great he is or was.....I have been wrong a hundred million times with horses but then one comes along which really could care less about all that....he steps into the moment simply because the time is seized by one of the Creators special creatures who we later realized had wings and the other 3 year olds were merely part of the cast of a 3 part supernatural event.....Orrrrb!
I had Orb / Golden Soul in an Exacta Box on this race. The moves Golden Soul made on the stretch to get 2nd are crazy! Great memories watching it back. $50 exacta paid just shy of $50,000. My first day betting on horses to boot... needless to say it got me into the sport big time!
"Normandy Invasion storms home" absolute chills. Not sure if Larry Collmus knew the significance of that statement or not but it remains one of my favorite calls. Remembering D-Day and all the heroes who laid down their lives. I cannot imagine the fear that took over the soldiers as they saw the beaches in the distance.
I'm not sure what was better, Orb's great move in the middle of the racetrack after having a wide trip the entire race and swallowing the field or Larry Collmus' call of "ORRRRRRRRBBBBB"! at 2:20. Both give me gooosebumps.
Orb is an amazing horse BUT he is moody. He wanted Kentucky Derby, he got it. He didn't feel like it on the day of Preakness, well... so be it. A horse that can come forward from third last to make that dash past horses like Palace malice and Oxbow has the stamina, the heart but not everyone can be a Secretariat; he is "Orb".
Horses dont have tough skin. Their skin is 7 times more sensitive than our skin; you dont smack horses, you rub them; whipping them is something they will never change even though they lose momentum when smacked with the whip; the horses rear-end goes up instead of out when hit with a whip (physics)-tapping them on the shoulder would get the same results.
It was thrilling to watch Orb pass the finish line in person! the KY derby was the best time ever..even in the rain! Now I have to go EVERY year...now on to Baltimore!
amazing finish I will root for orb all the way in the next race and hope orb takes the triple.Btw thanks for uploading this as I was busy today and missed it on tv
WTF was Mike Smith thinking?? Thrown by the "off" track? Not w/ those times. Credit to Calvin for his ride after that start watch out in Preakness. Javas War will be pissed and ready for redemption. LOVE Orb. Awesome colt.
Stop comparing every horse that comes around to Sec. It's unfair to orb and any other horse that gives their all on the track. We all know secretariats time won't be beat before the race even starts.
There's always going to be exceptions. But generally, the distance means that the horse has to stay true to the pace. that said, i'm a casual fan of racing and don't pretend to be an expert
Finally, trainer Shug McCaughey won a Kentucky Derby ¡Congratulations! ¡He always deserved win Run for the Roses! ¡And congratulations to Joel Rosario too!
No one expected him to win? He was the betting favorite and morning line choice. Revolutionary had a chance to pass him and he didn't. But let's be optimistic!
Finally, trainer Claude R. "Shug" McCaughey III could win a Kentucky Derby! It was a deserved reward for more than thirty years of training labor. Greetings from Venezuela.
Had my eye on this horse for weeks! And then he had my lucky number 16 for the race. Of course he was gonna win ;) no, but that was one hell of a race! nice run, bud!
Orb.. With some of the most famous rachorses of all time.. Secretariat, Bold Ruler, Dr. Fager, Seattle Slew, Damacus, Native Dancer, something royal, Buck passer, and Shenanigans... Comes from behind.. just like Secretariat... Beautiful.. just like Secretariat... Could it be we, the new generation, get to see another Secretariat, another underdog, another horse you only see in your dreams..
2:02 was ORB's time. While SECRETARIAT STILL holds the KD record time of 1:59...a whole 3 secs. faster. Makes you appreciate more & more what a phenomenal horse Secretariat was. The stinkin #4 Golden Soul screwed up everybody I know's tickets, ...had everybody else in the tri & Super. Well, that's why it's called HORSERACING. Seriously...ORB has the makings for the next TRIPLE CROWN WINNER, if he can handle Belmont at 1 1/2 miles. The BEST to ya , ORB!!, Rosario & especially Shaug!
If Orb can stay 1 1/4 miles on sloppy goiing a 1 1/2 miles trip of the Belmont should be no problem. I want to see another triple crown winner again, it's been too long
I think G. Charlie will get caught up in all of the front end speed in this race. Titletown Five is going to make the lead uneasy for Goldencents and G. Charlie setting it up for the closers. G. Charlie had a great Sunland Derby but there were records set the whole day because the track was so hard and fast that day. We'll see.
You do realize much of the movement of the whip you see are the jockeys WAVING the whip at the horses, don't you? Orb himself was only hit 3-4 times, which is nothing.
ORRRRRBBBB!!! Getting all pumped up about race tomorrow. I alone probably gave this video over 160,000 hits. Just kidding. :) I desperately want to Orb to win, but thinking of putting some money on Departing to ease the blow if Orb loses.
I think you are right about his tactics. Baffert is going to try to win this race just like Bode almost pulled it off last year and Paynter in the Belmont. He will need a Shackleford type effort. You may be right. I'm betting against it.
One day Orbs move sweeping around the far turn picking up horses like falling domino's will one day be embedded in horse racing lore. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.....but......oh the hell with it I haven't seen goldendust laid out in front of a horse since Secretariat. I saw that move and it made my equine senses heighten as big red did in 1973. Boy did we need a hero then And boy we sure could use one now.
There will likely never be a next Secretariat but this horse is better than most people realize. His bloodlines are tremendous including Seattle Slew, Bold Ruler on both sides and Native Dancer.. To accelerate in that fashion on that track is certainly reminiscent of his great-great grandpa Secretariat.
They really don't feel that much. It's the 'crack' that tends to do more than the impact. And, especially when whipping behind, the number flag catches most of the impact.
I don't really follow horse racing until this time of year, but I know one thing is certain. Hearing the thunder of the horses in turn one with the Downs in the background is the greatest scene in sports. 1:05
Orb must be very good! I know nothing about his form but when you see AP Indy on one side of pedigree and Unbridled on the other,you have to conclude that Orb is one hell of a potential stallion and must be extremely valuable.relative to other Kentucky Derby winners.
Crossing my fingers for Orb on Saturday in Baltimore.. Really hope he wins the Preakness! Great shot with J.Rosario as jockey! I bet daily on horses but on Saturday I'm just a fan. Besides Orb pays 1-1.
There are older races than the Melbourne Cup. You just have to look at the horse races in England like the Epsom Derby (1780). And you can't pin point one particular race as the most prestigious, but the Melbourne Cup is up there with the rest. However you can't surpass its popularity in Australia. I mean, where else in the world do they celebrate a 3 minute horse race with a public holiday!!!
I didnt realize the derby was on sat! I watched just in time at the 20 sec mark and then to see OOOOORRRRRB *tv host said it so awesome* The best derby ive seen! OOOOORRRBBB FOR THE T.C.!

Senior Quote goals.
Goosebumps every time
Kinda caught him off gaurd!
OOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRB!
ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRB is coming with giant strides.GOOSEBUMPS ON THAT.
We met Orb at Claiborne Farm in March 2016. He was in Secretariat's old paddock. Beautiful horse. His 2013 Derby win is awesome. Heart, mud, and guts!
I was at Claiborne the morning of the race. Was pretty cool to see the barn he was born in, then immediately drive to Churchill and see him win the Derby that same day.
I thought this race eeriely paralleled the Kentucky Derby 40 years before that. I was hoping Orb would be a Triple Crown Winner!
I saw this race from my spot on the backside that I have occupied for the past 5 years - while the horses were circling in front of us for the post parade all of the other horses were fretting, prancing & nervous - Orb was calm, cool & collected and the look he gave me as he passed by was of pure confidence
I had to watch a weird amount of this video to be sure it wasn't in fact a McElroy bit.
This still stands as one of my favorite KDs. Without this race, especially Orb, I wouldn't be such a huge horse racing fanatic.
Unbelievable run by Orb, he was third from last position and came strong!

At 2:23 you can see that Orb got distracted, was looking to the right, and as a result slowed his pace. At 2:29 he finally focuses on the race again, and immediately surges ahead. Without that temporary distraction, Orb would have won by a couple more lengths.
driver3596 great observation ! And at 2:26 looks like Jockey no. 5 tried to get close to Orb and whip him.
I believe Johnny V was turning his head to the right as Normandy Invasion was tired and starting to lug his way. I think Johnny was trying to move him out a bit more to prevent getting bumped.
@@cartgp1 of a into my
I won like $1500 that day, with orb and I hit a any order top 3 horse! Awesome finish!!!
Revolutionary was so close... Calvin Borel almost had his 4th win
We just visited Orb at Claiborne Farms and he is living the life of luxury.
my only derby pick that has won
Watch this with the automatic closed captioning.
Great connections for a super horse...living a dream...congradulations even in 2021 it's exciting!!!
Too bad he wasn’t a Super horse
LOVED IT! What a horse! Was so wide, and was every bit the best horse in the race! Revolutionary and Golden Soul got ground saving tricks while Orb covered lots more ground and went way wide and still won by daylight!

It showed in this race, Palace Malice could not keep going with the pace that Smith was setting him. Bad ride. Set it up for the back markers.
Putting blinkers on for the first time..Why do I feel like Palace Malice was used as a rabbit in this race?
With that pace too
@@ken45y most horses setting that kind of pace would have finished dead last
Congratulations to Orb and his trainer and jockey for the strong and winning race!
When Orb grabs the lead he veered right causing Golden Soul to stop his push and move right, because he won by 2 lengths he wasn't disqualified, if it was by a neck Golden soul is your winner..
Golden Soul should have had it!

Stormyy Weatherr - Decepticon Why? He was blown away by Orb in the stretch
A hero with enough humility to create these moments and then quietly return to his stall not breathing a word about how great he is or was.....I have been wrong a hundred million times with horses but then one comes along which really could care less about all that....he steps into the moment simply because the time is seized by one of the Creators special creatures who we later realized had wings and the other 3 year olds were merely part of the cast of a 3 part supernatural event.....Orrrrb!

CONGRATS ORB
I can stop rewind this part " OOOOOORRRRRRRRRBBBBBBB IS COMING WITH GIANT STRIDES""""""" Am i the only one????????
Good sport. I like it
Horses dont have tough skin. Their skin is 7 times more sensitive than our skin; you dont smack horses, you rub them; whipping them is something they will never change even though they lose momentum when smacked with the whip; the horses rear-end goes up instead of out when hit with a whip (physics)-tapping them on the shoulder would get the same results.
It was thrilling to watch Orb pass the finish line in person! the KY derby was the best time ever..even in the rain! Now I have to go EVERY year...now on to Baltimore!
WHAT A RIDE BY ROSARIO! ORB was lengths from the inside rail and still came home fastest of all
amazing finish I will root for orb all the way in the next race and hope orb takes the triple.Btw thanks for uploading this as I was busy today and missed it on tv
WTF was Mike Smith thinking?? Thrown by the "off" track? Not w/ those times. Credit to Calvin for his ride after that start watch out in Preakness. Javas War will be pissed and ready for redemption. LOVE Orb. Awesome colt.

No one expected him to win? He was the betting favorite and morning line choice. Revolutionary had a chance to pass him and he didn't. But let's be optimistic!
Dont take anything away from Da Tara, a Tiznow horse trained by Zito and was primed for the mile and a half ... he went wire to wire to prove that
Finally, trainer Claude R. "Shug" McCaughey III could win a Kentucky Derby! It was a deserved reward for more than thirty years of training labor. Greetings from Venezuela.
ORRRB is coming with giant strides in the center of the track- Larry Collmus.
no one expected him to win. sadly if revolutionary runs in the belmont orb prob wont win. look how revolutionary gets third and still going
I'm not taking anything away from da Tara. I'm just saying there were horses that could've run that race but were held out.
What a great move by Orb and what a great call. ORRRRRB! Adios Tom Durkin this guy is wayyyyyy better than you.
Anybody else notice the similarities of this race and the Kentucky Derby run 40 years before this?
Check out Mike Smith gettin Palice Malice to the six furlong pole in 1.09 and change,c'mon Mikey be serious.
Orb has been my internet avatar for 2 decades....orb74 to be exact....this race ranks #1 for that alone...
Oh, what mud, what mud! Lord!
It'll be tough to run that type of race in the Belmont. 1 1/2 miles is too far for closers.
I totally LOVE Orb! He's just great and I so hoped that he'd win the Derby! You did it, boy! Looking forward to the Preakness. ;)
Normandy Invasion moved too soon at the top of the stretch by JJ. This one is on him.
Yay orb won i wuz going for WILL TAKE CHARGE but he wuz my 1st pick!!! Yayyyy
oooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
That horse came from a long way back wow!
Absolute star studded race, so many great horses came outta this race.
And I am still getting chills. What a stretch it was !
I rewatch this time and time again only for the commentator. Who is he?
ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRB.
I bet on orb for no reason... I just had a certain... Feeling.
ORB: from 3rd slowest to an easy win (y) wow
aunque pensandolo bien tambien pudiera ser paraguana
he does have a good chance but revs pedigree proves the same
It’s the sex ball from the year 5024
Had ORB
One of my only derby winners ever
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!
Had my eye on this horse for weeks! And then he had my lucky number 16 for the race. Of course he was gonna win ;) no, but that was one hell of a race! nice run, bud!
it all depends on the jockey...
Orb was looking at the crowd while he was making his move down the homestretch like "where my haters at?!"
Sometimes the best horse does win the derby=ORB
Secretariat-like, maybe? Or SSlew? I like Orb!
Orb.. With some of the most famous rachorses of all time.. Secretariat, Bold Ruler, Dr. Fager, Seattle Slew, Damacus, Native Dancer, something royal, Buck passer, and Shenanigans... Comes from behind.. just like Secretariat... Beautiful.. just like Secretariat... Could it be we, the new generation, get to see another Secretariat, another underdog, another horse you only see in your dreams..
Love it those are Ruffian colors
How did I bet not orb with the big man JOEL
1/4-22.57
1/2-45.33
3/4-1:09.8
Finish-2:02.89
First biggest race I ever won.

Will Take Charge was coming with ORB but then got blocked and ran into some traffic. He's definitely worth a look in the Preakness.

Race Call:
Larry Collmus
Did you guys see Calvin Borel? He almost pulled off a Mind that Bird race. Hugged the rail the whole way.
Orb must be very good! I know nothing about his form but when you see AP Indy on one side of pedigree and Unbridled on the other,you have to conclude that Orb is one hell of a potential stallion and must be extremely valuable.relative to other Kentucky Derby winners.
i doubt that but very good horse no question and getting better with each race great trainer/jockey combo as well
Crossing my fingers for Orb on Saturday in Baltimore.. Really hope he wins the Preakness! Great shot with J.Rosario as jockey! I bet daily on horses but on Saturday I'm just a fan. Besides Orb pays 1-1.

Preakness = Governor Charlie
Well-judged ride from Rosario: the early pace was suicidal and it was always likely that the hold-up horses would dominate.
