In all honesty, this might be the greatest Kentucky Derby victory of all time. The longest shot passes the favorite right at the end. You can’t write a story better than that.

[MaineOutdoorsChannel]

That horse was given ZERO chance of winning, just filling in for a horse that was scratched.... One of the greatest moments in sports....

[adamr.]

I can’t get enough of this race. The way he says “RICH STRIKE!” in the end is legendary…

[reddeertech]

I came back here today just to remember the greatest race I ever witnessed. The longest shot won the Kentucky Derby.

[joanthonylopez]

"The longest shot has won the Kentucky Derby" gives me chills and make me smile what a quote and a race...

[Kevin-wbjl]

Some people will say, ”Rich Strike will never win another race.” To which I say, ”He doesn’t have to.”

[gribbin]

The moment where he cuts loose is spine tingling. Those strides…

[jkrix]

I have watched this at least 100 times and it still gives me goosebumps...every single time. This was special.

[TG-cwgj]

Gives me chills The way he says “rich strike” at the pass, the emotion he expressed in how he said it. Amazing race that horse and jockey ran

[guitaro]

I think the reason why he won the race is because he was faster than everyone else in the race.

[nezbola]

This is simply one of the most improbable, nearly impossible, and absolutely incredible feats to have been witnessed in probably an entire generation. Amazing.

[elguapo]

Over a year later and this call, this race, this finish just hits like nothing else in sports. I had no $ on it but just the pure raw emotion of watching a horse that no one gave a chance in the world, take everyone down. Its absolutely stunning!

[TimeBucks]

One of the best races I have ever seen

[vdimasteremeritus]

Two things: the move the jockey made around the slowing horse on the rail in the last furlong and the fact that Rich Strike came on so fast the announcer barely had time to mention his name once before he won the race. Unbelievable.

[GroomsJk]

I am in tears watching this incredible horse. As someone aptly stated below, he never has to win another race. His legacy is cemented forever. To me, this race is right up there with Secretariat's 1973 Belmont race in-terms of raw emotion.

[akferren]

I’ve watched every derby for the last 50 years and this was by far the greatest race ever..
Just amazing

[kathyficarotta]

That jockey knew his horse, he navigated the pack like a race car driver and absolutely stunned the other horses with his speed. Fantastic race. One I won't ever forget. And let it be a reminder to everyone, you gotta believe!!!!

[OfficialKlassic]

I've never watched a single Kentucky Derby race in my 22 years here on Earth but this just gave me chills all down my body. "The longest shot has won the kentucky derby" is going right down in history.

[PhilistineTheArtLuvr]

What's impressive about this race is how Sony Leon is trying to place his horse and how to pace his horse, he kept his cool all along. At one point, 1:32, it seemed hopeless, the horse had nowhere to go. But as soon as Leon found an opening he went for it instructing the horse where to go and then run for the line. Absolutely fantastic.

[ACHPKP]

Even as an athlete myself, This horse - "Rich Strike" gives inspiration! Wow! what an animal!
I must have watched this video 20 times!!
