2013 Kentucky Derby - Orb + Post Race

Stuart Janney III and Phipps Stable's Orb stormed to the lead in the stretch of a sloppy Churchill Downs strip to win the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I). The homebred son of Malibu Moon covered the 1 1 /4 miles in 2:02.89 and topped Golden Soul by 2 1/2 lengths.
The winning rider was Joel Rosario, the hottest rider in the world off a record-breaking Keeneland meet and a victory aboard Animal Kingdom in the Dubai World Cup sponsored by Emirates Airline (UAE-I).
Golden Soul rallied for the place spot, topping Revolutionary by a length. Normandy Invasion was a head back in fourth.
Orb delivered the first Derby for Hall of Fame trainer and Lexington native Shug McGaughey. "It means everything to me," McGaughey. "I'm thrilled to death for the Phipps and Janney (families) and all the people involved with the horse."

The Kentucky Derby is pretty exciting. I've studied the derby in order to put money on it. Big money can be made. That's when I found something: racing's made of two divisions: PROFITCAPPING and HANDICAPPING. Go to google.com and horseracinganswers.com you can learn much more about Profitcapping. An immense insight for us players. Handicapping predicts the order of finish of races. Profitcapping predicts profit to be made over months.

How many quarter cracks did that horse have? Separation of the hoof wall (he had that on both front feet)? His feet are bad. Period. You seem to be focusing on the Belmont. Focus on the horse himself instead of what the farriers did to artificially help him.

[@CabFrancWine]

Javier Castellano cooked normandy invasion, started to move the horse way too early in the back stretch......reminded me of Bernardini in the breeders cup. But Javier is pretty aggressive, i guess thats why he wins a lot of races.

[@santiagoespinal2873]

wonderfull Joel Rosario made in Dominican Republic...........go go gog go Dominican Rep. Go away Brrick gold of Dominican Rep.

[@pertjacanape]

Interesting race for the fast early going pace. Orb showed extremely impressive dynamic balance when bumped hard I thought first by the much bigger horse Normandy Invasion while they were coming of the final turn, and then again by Golden Soul coming down the home stretch. Both times Orb continued to churn up ground in stride. He seems to turn on and sustain tremendous acceleration during the later stages in races--his final kick is not just fast but looooooooooonng.

[@gunloc26]

I lost my ass yesterday, but seeing someone with the class Shug has, eased the pain to say the least. Heck, I almost teared up when he began to tear up when being interviewed. He's a class act and a great representative for the sport. The sport needs a lot more Shugs!

[@jerrygerardi8552]

Here's hoping his son will follow in his hoofsteps this year

[@Jemsters1]

It wasn't his shoes - it was his feet. They were bad.

Thumbs up for Jenn Patterson!

[@Alecramsay1227]

They took care of that foot problem on belmont week. There was a picture we could clearly see the shoe getting out just a little for couple of stride at the beginning of the race before getting 'back' in place couple of strides later, surely missplaced a little

[@ElkRiverRancher2]

Nice people - especially nice, in that Mr. McGaughey isn't the sort of trainer to have 5 entered in the Derby, making him more of a horse-man than a numbers-man, IMHO; and, a deserving team of owners (glad to see Mr. Phipps finally get a Derby winner). On to Baltimore, and good luck there ...

[@bon1042]

I just saw on Facebook Secretariat's Meadow page a news video and blurb that shows Ron Turcotte saying he thinks Orb will win Triple Crown, not might or could but will. He's never done that before. He saw Orb in Florida and tho his races/wins weren't spectacular he is strong and has improved steadily. Wldn't that be something. Just checked pedigreequery and Mr. Prospector and Damascus are great great grandsires at same point in pedigree. Seattle Slew great grandsire also.

[@villainessy]

Orb is horse. Horse is orb.

[@bullwinkle1989]

Big Brown was the fastest horse on drugs. He was so confused when he lost the Belmont and I cried for him. I rescue off track Thoroughbreds and all go through a painful drug withdrawal. It is criminal what they do to these horses. It makes me sick.

[@stevetriplecrown]

On to the triple crown.

Loose ring snaffle.

lmao i love shug he acts like it was just another day in the office

$1 trifecta pays 3462.80. boooooyaaa

[@Alecramsay1227]

I'm still thinking Big Brown had a pretty decent change, if only it wasn't for his shoe trouble in the belmont

[@pennyg1966]

To be honest with you, I didn't think Orb was all that, ya know? He failed to impress me. I don't care what his bloodlines were, he just didn't live up to expectations.

[@Jemsters1]

The last one I think was in 2006 with Barbaro. I'm convinced that he would have captured the TC if he had stayed healthy.

[@markusmichalak8082]

I think that Orb was one of only two horses that I ever picked to win the Derby to have actually one. Street Sense was the other one. Bodemeister, whom I also picked to win, did run second in 2012 though.

[@marjorieboyle9770]

and their into the stretch!

[@lorderchamion]

Yes indeed. So glad for Shug. This is so redeeming after the heartbreak with easy goer in 89. And it happened on a muddy track for added measure! Orb's got the potential for a TC winner. Let's hope.

[@bankrollr]

I really thought Mylute was going to be closer, but I am very glad for Shug. A fine gentleman and trainer!

[@snowflakelaloupe3532]

This is so cool! When we got a new horse, Zeke, the lady said that Orb was the Great-Grandfather or maybe just Grandfather) of Zeke. Orb must be old! Zeke is 15

+Snowflake La Loupe I think someone majorly messed with you

[@armyteam2000]

I pry that California Chrome wins the race

[@yipyappyyip]

What is the name of the large round bit that Shug used on Orb?

[@LauraAdams578]

Weekend Surprise was a wonderful daugther of Secretariat

[@gotch09]

2013 stunk for the TC. Let's hope we have a better run at it this year.

[@horsepony3]

Me too! We havent had a triple crown winner since Affirmed :/

[@dalewyatt8528]

Thrilled for Shug and the Phipps and Janney families.

[@losarman]

Did he run on drugs and if so which ones?

[@alexanderkahl1288]

I chose Orb, tough luck on your selection, Verrazano.
