    I believe it can. The trainer said it needs rest. Preakness is too early for it. Skip the Preakness. Run the Belmont. It can proobe it there hiw goos it is , and many more. California Chrome was a well example of such. Rest kept it running for a long time. It became the number one horse in money earner , until Arrogate took its place.

    He has a better chance in the Belmont it's longer then the Derby the Preakness is the shortest triple crown race that's concerns me he could win but the jockey would have to get him closer & start move sooner then the Derby great race he will win again unlike Mind that Bird remember it was a muddy bias track he never won again they were all dry tracks also.

He'd overtaken 2 horses halfway thru the opening stretch, and 3 by the first turn. It was an incredible run that doesn't require made-up hyperbole.

    The jockey Sonny Leon did some amazing driving getting through the traffic in the last turn. When the pack swung outside coming out of the final turn, it just sort of sucked them forward and gave them running room. I can almost see the disbelief in both horse and rider, like "holy s**t it's open running!" Beautiful to see Rich Strike cut around the #6 horse and still hold stride. But, to run down the leaders and win going away after that smoking pace shows speed apparently nobody knew this horse had. I grew up going to the Downs and hanging around on the back side. It never gets old.

    Hungary has become such a joke of a country. Their president and his billionaires bought every news outlet, and just spew state propaganda 24/7 now. Their fascist leader has also gerrymandered the country corruptly, and the media isn’t allowed to mention the president’s electoral competition. I used to respect Hungary, but it turns out they have a majority of idiots/fascists. They’re worse than any major politicians that are far-left or far-right in the USA.

    You could see Rich Strike looking right at Epicenter as they got in the final stretch. Almost as if he’s saying, “Dude, you look tired.” Watching the overheard view, it was one of the best rides you will see. Once the jockey split those two horses and moved to the rail, Rich Strike kicked into full gear. His closing speed was incredible.

    Yes, this horse is one-in-a-hundred million. Three times I saw him turn his head sideways to observe his surroundings. The horse and jockey were a perfect team, noticing the exact cracks in the crowd they had to maneuver through. Rich Strike has clever intuition, as well as every other possible quality a horse could have. The owner, trainer, jockey and team knew full well that Rich Strike was a great finisher. Maybe the world's best finisher. Once he moved to the middle of the pack, the team must have known that he had a chance to win.

    I've never seen a horse stare down other horses during a race. Let's be honest, horses have limited intelligence. Most stare straight ahead and will run until they die if prompted. Several times Rich Strike turns his head , telling Sonny Leon where he wants to go. He's clearly staring at Epicenter, he wanted to catch him and win the race. That's why we watch sports for moments like this. You gotta run the race, play the game. Never know what's gonna happen.

U can see Rich Strike have to stop all its momentum to avoid a collision. The skill of that jockey (apologies for not knowing his name) to pull up, avoid a collision, turn right on a dime, pass the blocker and regain the inside with acceleration was the best riding I've ever seen. But I also agree the ability of that horse to regain speed after the block was truly incredible. Typically when that happens so late in the stretch a horse can never recover.

    Love this horse!!! Jockey did the best race EVER!!! Congratulations to the owner and trainer for believing in this wonderful horse and training him to perfection. Heartwarming performance. Somebody forgot to tell this horse, you can't be in last place in the beginning, and be an 80 to1 underdog, and win the Kentucky Derby.

    Such an incredible ride. So patient. He believed in his horse. Threaded his way through and moved to the inside in last 100 feet. Announcer was totally caught off guard. GOOSEBUMPS!! 🐎🐎🐎

    Every time I watch this race it gives me chills. You can see Rich Strike just reaches his speed and could have gone farther. He was just picking it up and got into it...amazing horse! And for the jockey to be able to control him through that stretch took so much strength. What a race!!
