I am so impressed with Forever Young. He has travelled around the world and still tough enough, after being bumped into by SL, forced to run wide, still almost win the race. Love that horse
I have to give the jockey on Mystic Dan credit...he wasn't beating the crap out of him. He was fanning the whip & encouraging him. That horse has heart to spare.

I just want to say as great as secretariat was, you really can't compare times today to times 50 years ago. Rules have changed (they have cracked down on drug use and whipping as well as other rules). Tracks today have actually been made slower than back then due to safety reasons. I am not saying these horses would have beat secretariat because I have no doubt that secretariat would have smoked these horses as the time was extremely slow this year. However, comparing the times secretariat made 51 years ago is not really reasonable considering how much has changed in racing.

Boy, that was exciting! Really didn't think that Mystik Dan would pull it off but was hoping McPeek/Hernandez could take the Oaks/Derby double. Brian doing his best Calvin Borel imitation coming up that rail. So happy for the whole team!
In the video it is clearly seen that Sierra Leone charges in and hits Forever Young almost making him fall, the Japanese should have filed a claim against Sierra Leone
NASCAR and horse racing are killing it with photo finishes this year
if Sierra Leone had run straight and not kept bumping Forever Young, he probably would have won (also i feel so bad for Forever Young's connections, they were so close to winning! but there's always next time!) and to everyone criticizing Larry's call, back off. Everyone makes mistakes; even the GOATs slip up every once in a while anyways, what a thriller of a finish for the 150th Derby!

What a race. I will say that was a horrible call of the race lol. Down the stretch he's calling a horse taking the lead that was actually 3rd lol. Come on man. Mystic Dan was well in front as he saying another horse had taken the lead.

@@cjhurtado73 He probably didn't. If you notice, there's a break in the call when he's trying to call that Resilience and Stronghold are coming up on Fierceness's outside on the turn, it's only a half second pause, but it is there, so he likely looked down at his program/flash cards to see which two horses those were, and may have missed Mystik Dan coming through on the rail when he did. And bc track announcers use binoculars to call races, and bc binoculars have a small view point, Mystik Dan was probably out of his sight again until he set the binoculars down when the horses got close enough to see without them
Congrats to Mystic Dan and his jockey Hernandez!!! What a very smart jockey! Great ride and well deserved win!❤
1. Lost cable connection. 2. Didn't panic and fixed it within a minute to start. 3. It's one of the best races ever!

Up until now the 05’ Derby was my favorite BUT THIS IS THE BEST BY FAR! Mystik Dan holding off the closers and getting the Oaks and Derby double, Sierra Leone and Forever Young slugging it out for 2nd & 3rd, and even T O Password did great! Im so proud of the Japanese! And hopefully this encourages them to keep trying because this was a huge performance.

Oh yeah, Giacomo passes 11 in the stretch, 6 of which he passed in deep stretch. Only one sports writer thought he'd win. Heck, I saw the Hollywood Futurity in person, and the top 3 were all out and matched each other stride for stride.
Doesn't get any closer than that. What a beautiful race

Derby is about who gets the best trip and stays out of trouble. Both Leon and Young ran better races, going wide, pounding into each other down the stretch and a stride or two more and both would have passed the winner. Congrats to Hernandez, he’s been around a long time. The Derby is the race you want to win. You’ll have that forever. If Baffert goes to Baltimore then your Triple Crown hopes will end there.

Terrible call by this announcer. Totally missed Mystik Dan until the very end. This was an all-jockey/starting position win. The great starting position and the rail run by Brian Hernandez was as perfect as it needed to be. Congratulations!
What a race three way photo finish my horse Sierra Leone loses by nostril , Forever Young 3rd. What a race he run in a thriller . congratulations mystik Dan .
It's funny how foul play it took to deprive Forever Young of the victory. Shame that a Sierra Leonean jockey grabbed the jockey and reins of a Japanese horse.
Congrats to Mystic Dan. Got the ground saving trip...Forever Young seems like the real deal...look for this horse if he stays healthy to do great things, probably should have won today for a number of factors including the ride 😉

Forever Young is a grinder.More than likely trainer will take horse back to Japan for rest.But if they decide to run in the Belmont(doubtful they'll run in the Preakness), he's going to be tough to beat.

Fake race. Sierra Leone bumped the 11 down the stretch
Incredible Sierra Leone and Forever young have the same grandma!😮
In my eyes, Sierra Leone was the best horse but with the widest trip. You can argue he bumped into Forever Young but I didn’t see it to be that bad. This commonly happens in stretch duels. It wasn’t like FY was impeded. But FY bobbled at the break similar to Just A Touch and got squeezed. You can argue he had the worst trip of the three. While Mystic Dan had the best trip of the three and that’s why he won. 2024 3YO Rankings 1. Sierra Leone 2. Mystic Dan 3. Forever Young 4. Catching Freedom 5. Fierceness It’s still possible for Forever Young to win an Eclipse with limited starts in North America. We see it all the time with Europeans winning Eclipse awards for top male or female turf champion. Check how Forever Young rider rode him. Is that the Japanese way of riding? I found it a bit odd. Watch the break and then the finish. Very contrasting to someone like Pincay. I’m not sure Sierra Leone will run back for the Preakness being it’s only two weeks later and being a shorter race favoring speed horses. Most trainers these days skip the next two. And I’m not sure SL will win the Belmont as that actually favors horses with tactical speed although SL would enjoy those longer sweeping turns like Forego and Easy Goer both did. The race I see Sierra Leone winning is the Travers as he’ll love that long stretch at Saratoga and maybe something like the Jockey Club Gold Cup and Dubai World Cup. He’s a good horse. Again, nothing amazing like Forego, Easy Goer, or Zenyatta. They still ran that final quarter in 26 and change. That’s 1:37 and then over 2:03. This crop hasn’t shown to be exceptional. The only horse with 100+ Beyers is Fierceness and he doesn’t run like his name at all. He should be renamed Meekness. Perhaps Sierra Leone losing the Derby can keep him around longer?

Forever Young impressed me because we’d been told he hated kickback but got covered in mud and still almost won. I think he has a real chance at the Belmont if the field is smaller and the jockey doesn’t mess up. I’m not sure why he was bouncing so much in his saddle. I believe the Belmont Stakes will be held at Saratoga this year so that might be another showdown with Sierra Leone. I don’t think any of these horses have a chance at the Preakness. Baffert is waiting with a fresh horse. Overall great race. Awful call.

No he didn't. He's pulling Sierra's head to the right, trying to make him go to the right, the whole time. Look at Sierra - who doesn't look straight ahead. Sierra's jockey attempts a "short reign." You must let go a bit with your hand, and move your grip "up" the reigns. Seems mis-timed - his left hand loses grip on the reign and shoots out. But he never hits Forever, nor his jockey. Forever's jockey pulls an acrobatic, but courteous move after 1:59. Not wanting to strike Sierra, he taps Forever's LEFT rump, with the crop in his RIGHT hand, by twisting around/standing in the saddle. (Watch it in slo-mo. Wow! It's impressive.) It all looks like a fight - until you watch a few times, and see what's going on. After the first bump, both horses leaned on each other. It's a "stallion/dominance" thing. And both jockeys acted sportsmanlike towards each other. Thus, no inquiry, no foul.

to think that humans evolve and horses do not. you have to remember steroids were LEGAL in horse racing in those days not to mention the dirt in 73 was like running on concrete almost. you simply cant compare. barry bonds was the best hitter to ever play the game in my eyes but thanks to 3 types of roids or PEDs he used and one of them he used helped with eye site which a lot of people dont realize. so next time we want to compare today horses with Secret-ariat lets think about this? we had a nice clean race this year because they cracked down on Bob Bafferts drugged up horses.
