I have never been more impacted by a horse race in my life!!! I’m super amazed and mind blown, I can’t stop watching this. I’m so happy for Rich Strike, the rider and the family! They deserve it. Thank god for that horse dropping out!
I don't even watch horse racing or follow the Kentucky Derby but my friend went to the Kentucky Derby this year with her boyfriend so I decided to look up the results. I can't stop watching the replay of RICH STRIKE striking rich and winning the 2022 Kentucky Derby. What a COMEBACK STORY!! Congrats to Sonny Leon (the Jockey) and his team!! WOW. I'm so happy :)
shows poor Rich Strike's abuse on the race track. I was excited watching the race but now I'm shocked at the way he has been treated and yes lets wait for the insurance claims. Poor horse. th-cam.com/video/THKvY6kJJ7s/w-d-xo.html
Wow what a race!!! What a story!!! Who doesn't love an underdog!!! Rich Strike is absolutely gorgeous and very spunky!!! 🐎💙 A race for the ages for sure!!!! Could we have another Triple Crown in the works? Time will tell!! Best wishes to all involved with this amazing horse!!! 🐎💙💕. Can't wait to see him in the Preakness Stakes!!!!
No. He's a horse for a course. Only 2 wins have been at Churchill. Got beat like 15 lengths by this Epicenter on another dirt track. That's why he was 80-1. They started avoiding dirt tracks. Ran him on all weather surfaces (synthetic.) They knew he had a chance on Churchill dirt. Threw everybody off by avoiding dirt.

What a story indeed. Rich Strike's win in the derby made all of us proud. A horse with a connection to so many people and places. Im also very happy for his sire Keen Ice. And his Manitoba Canada bred dam Gold Strike. Who was champion 3 year old filly in Canada back in 2005. Champions and Winners Run in Rich Strike's blood.
rich strike is really smart. twice down the stretch you can see him look at the horse he had to catch and he did. i love stories like this. what a beautiful animal.
How super he was able to catch up with the others so quickly. The biting and the need for rest, though, show it took a lot out of him. The horse with the mask. Already legend.
What I appreciated about this jockey was that he didn't beat his horse to death. He did carry and lightly use a crop, but I didn't feel that the horse was abused just to get across the finish line first. A little urging was used, but reasonable. Really good ride on a really good horse! Wow!

For one thing, RS's trainer saw right away he wasn't a turf horse. On the long run, this could have saved the horse's life too. Now, he is a star. Horse and trainer, but mostly, the horse.
Horse, trainer AND rider🤩...I know the trainer ..not just know "of" him...I pulled for him totally!...my kids' dad was a Veterinarian and used to treat his horses..(my kids'dad died 11 yrs ago)... he's a good guy!!...that race was SO amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@mattm8932 Not at all. He could have ended up in the slaughter pipeline like 150k others every year. Luckily his current trainer knew he had talent on dirt tracks....
@@kathleenhuff3059 That is awesome Kathleen! Hey, by chance, could you get with me? I am a film maker, and this is such an amazing story of this family and the industry. This is what America needed, especially with all the tragedy involved. Still get goosebumps when I watch it. I know its a long shot, with sooo many other people wanting to do this story. As long as I can be a part, it would mean the world to me! God Bless, thank you.

It is a great story you will have some cynical statements by some but I don't know perhaps they are just that way or the bet alot & lost,agree will make a great movie.
No tuve oportunidad de saber que iba a participar un jinete venezolano en el Derby de Kentucky; sabía que whaite Abarrio , tiene que ver con propietarios de Venezuela y analice su campaña y me gustaba junto con Epicenter para ganar el clásico; pero Rick strike con sonny león mostró que corre bien en distancias largas, y veo que puede seguir avanzando para conquistar la triple corona; el jinete lo conoce y es buen caballo. Dios bendijo la constancia y sacrificios de sonny león , es un hombre de fe cristiana. Que sigan las victorias.
In roulette, if you put a chip on any given number that wins, you’re paid 35-1. This horse was 80-1. The jockey, with over 5000 mounts, has one victory in a stakes grade race until now. The stars were aligned for this!
That's John Goodman there in a Hollywood movie called, "Rich Strike." Opening Scene: OVER BLACK We hear CRACKLING flames. Terrified horses neighing. Desperate shouts. FADE IN:
50:1 Mine That Bird won May 2, 2009. He came from last place to first place on the last turn and he didn’t barely win, he won with no other horse around him. I love long shots.
this would be like a high school baseball team beating a major league baseball team in a one game tournament. never in my life of 67 years did i ever think this could happen.
Actually, you are probably more correct than you realize. This race had great prophetic implications, almost every aspect of it. See Prophet Johnny Enlow on Elijah Streams for details - it will blow your mind.
yes! the MOST EXCITING 2 minutes in Sports!!! You can feel the electricity in the air from the stands and the crowd too. Not as big as NASCAR, but that takes over 2 hours... all that packed into 2 minutes and a $ 3 million purse to the top 5 finishers. (1.86 mil to the winner)

One heck of a chest. Legs a little thin and the back quarters a bit small . . . but a thoroughbred! He'll have that hundred yard dash and then the marathon.
Another Secretariat? wow wouldn't that be something! The announcer said that the last time something so spectacular happened was in 1913...... dude get your facts together.....
He was in the travel trailer on the road when they got the phone call. They were headed up to Saratoga to enter him in the weekend races. None of this was even supposed to happen. Unless, of course, ALL OF IT was supposed to happen!
As you watch Rich Strike coming down the homestretch, he appears to be wanting to nip at some of the nearby horses there too. He keeps looking off to the right. Fiesty.
The fire was started by lightning. They managed to save a few, but the fire was too intense. They got as many out as they could, yet I believe 23 or 24 perished in the barn fire. A lot of us in the racing community remember this horrible event. The most terrible fact of all is that it took firefighters almost 40 minutes to arrive. If they had arrived sooner, more horses could have been saved.
I have never been more impacted by a horse race in my life!!! I’m super amazed and mind blown, I can’t stop watching this. I’m so happy for Rich Strike, the rider and the family! They deserve it. Thank god for that horse dropping out!
2nd to only watching Secretariat at Belmont stakes. That felt as much twilight zone as this race.
Horse racing is cruel AF.
Sonny León thank you for your Victory, you bring hope and honor to our country, God bless you and Viva Venezuela 🇻🇪 🙏
Yes, the jockey from Venezuela did a nice job with this horse. He rides into history in an all-time great victory.
So happy for the family, jockey, and the Rich Strike now! Congratulations! 🎉

All the Best for the jockey-sonney and team. Venezuela is really happy for him!
rich strike is really smart. twice down the stretch you can see him look at the horse he had to catch and he did. i love stories like this. what a beautiful animal.
You can have the best formula 1 car, but without a good driver you don't win. All the credit to the jockey Sonny Leon
So true.
He is a Venezuelan
There is something magical about “ red horses “ ...... Rick Strike ❤️
I'm not even into the Kentucky Derby, but I happened to be watching this year, and I'm so glad I did! Congrats to you, Mr. Strike!
How super he was able to catch up with the others so quickly. The biting and the need for rest, though, show it took a lot out of him. The horse with the mask. Already legend.
What a race!!! I'm happy for the entire team!
A great win. Mine That Bird won from behind in 2009 by 7 lengths. Borel just blew them away at 50 to 1.
I've watched the race 6 times. Just amazing.
I blindly place a $100 on rich strike and I got $8000 for the win . Didn't even had a clue about the race lol
Congratulations
Literally a rich strike for you! ha
@@lainal3960 lol yes

Sunny leone had the idea to deal with a stayer.
He runs a lot of juvenile races, with thoroughbred horses trying learn racing. This was a rare shot at the Big Time for Leon. He made good!

Sonny Leon last win was in a 5000 claimer at Belterra Park. Just as amazing was the masterful ride by Sonny Leon
Sonny is THE MAN
This is going to be a Great movie.

Venezuelan hero.
When he altered course from the rail to avoid crashing into one of the leaders that's when it was clear he would win.
America's Horse - Rich Strike (foaled April 25, 2019) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse that won the 2022 Kentucky Derby racing at 80-1 odds.

Sonny León hiciste historia para todo el mundo...👍👏👏👏👏👏
His family has horse racing background in Venezuela. He has worked hard and got a big chance here and succeeded. Best wishes to Sonny.
I watched this race…I was just shocked when rich strike stole the victory at the last moment 🤯🤯

Not very often you see the winning jockey in the Kentucky Derby covered in dirt.

Please write this screenplay I wanna watch that movie
@@celticcheetah6371 Haha, maybe it will write itself--there is the Preakness and the Belmont soon enough!
Coming in June on Netflix
Unbelievable! Rich strike!

True.. Very True
Great story!
So beautiful to watch!

I always throw some change on the long shot. I'm so glad I threw more than change on Rich Strike this race. Show me the money...
You struck it rich with Rich Strike.

The "Dixons" Jr.& Sr. Has that horses respect to the fullest. They had a talk with him before he won...lol
Sunny Leone had a good read of the Rich strike

Good things still do happen to good people... ✌️, 💕 And Blessings!!!!
Trainer fired groom!!!!! Dam people change
Richies groom reminds me of Eddie Sweat. 💗
His game is tight and ‘Strike reacts well with him as groom.
This is the only thing MSN hasn't lied about all year.
Good Job 👍
One heck of a chest. Legs a little thin and the back quarters a bit small . . . but a thoroughbred! He'll have that hundred yard dash and then the marathon.
He is skipping the dash.
Keen Ice the sire of Rick Strike also a longshot when he upset American Pharoah
The underdog !!!!!!!!
30 seconds before the deadline to enter that race
El muchacho de la película es de 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪, se llama Sonny León.
Rich Strike, some of us are not so easily deceived or tricked! lol
Why do people keep asking how HE (Rich Strike) did this? The answer is simple. He out ran all the other horses. 💕 ❤️ 💕 RS 💕 ❤️ 💕!!!
Rich Strike is like Mar o War!
The times at the half were too fast. Yes, that's a warning that the lead horses were not going to win unless they were faster than Secretariat.
Is the USA ready for a triple crown winner??YES!YES!🗽👍🐴🐕
Rich strike is the next seabiscuit....seabiscuit lives again
I see a movie about this in the near future
The best ever race I have ever seen. I always go for the underdog. I just wish I have
some 💲💲💲on this horse and jockey. 🤪😜
Minute 2:55. your teeth are incredibly white and perfect. Inspiring race .
Next for seabicuit.... Weldone finally get great fight horse
Si esto fuera una escena en una película, diríamos "De ninguna manera eso sucedería en la vida real".
That's what u call a good jockey
The jockey is Venezuelan ❤️
Another Secretariat? wow wouldn't that be something! The announcer said that the last time something so spectacular happened was in 1913...... dude get your facts together.....
Fourth Email: This is not the first time I am hearing of Mr Micheal Rafael and her amazing trading but I have no idea how to get to her
I can't get away from this story and I don't mind. So he wasn't even supposed to be in the race technically? 😳
He was in the travel trailer on the road when they got the phone call. They were headed up to Saratoga to enter him in the weekend races. None of this was even supposed to happen. Unless, of course, ALL OF IT was supposed to happen!
The groom is getting a lot of notoriety as well, as he's the only person Rich Strike doesn't want to bite.
Gives new meaning to the old saying “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”. 😉
Take my horse down to the Kentucky Derby and ride till I can't no more
Hello Ginnette
Can you show that guy talking yesterday morning about rich stick? not the same trying to save his job.
Striped it rich
Reminds me of when jacamo won
Giacamo?
As you watch Rich Strike coming down the homestretch, he appears to be wanting to nip at some of the nearby horses there too. He keeps looking off to the right. Fiesty.
It's so sad. This trainer lost how many horses in a barn fire? Did they burn up alive? How did it happen?

@@SnidgetAsphodel Why did it take so long for the firefighters to get there?
@@suemilkbone4868 Nobody knows. There was a fire station only a few minutes away.
@@SnidgetAsphodel Thank you for your reply. So tragic 😥
Great win, but not every horse that wins is America's horse.
Anyone else cried?
I can't watch these shows. The terminally happy hosts are too much.
How did horse do it JESUS CHRIST!!!!
rich strike looks a little like the great Secretariat.....
Like secretariat when he pulled it off
He didn't run out of gas cause he was running on batteries
Why is there a picture of chapo Guzman in the back …. Guess the cartel knew something about richstrikes
Pretty much John Daly at the PGA championship.
