Shoutout to my mom on filming the horses coming back after the race while I sprinted through the grandstand to the track level! Read a full recap on the 2024 Derby on BloodHorse: www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/276680/mystik-dan-holds-off-sierra-leone-to-win-kentucky-derby

[@sallycarpenter674]

Thank you So much for videoing this. Love to see The Athletes. I would Love to see still pics. or video side views of each horse without all the people in the way, so we can see their beauty. Wonderful work.

[@beagleman123456789]

Can you please name the owners in your description ??

[@janetmarshall7171]

What a finish that was!! This was the BEST TIME to cap off a memorable Kentucky Derby!! Gret Going, To Mystik Dan, Brian Hernandez. And Kenny Mcpeek!!

[@annalefsrud3132]

He really is a lovely horse. He ran so well & then so patient & gracious about all that craziness.

[@kathyporter8581]

Great video! Thank you for that! Better than the networks!

[@apharoah12]

Thanks for watching!

[@pBirdX]

Thanks for posting the race this way-no winner in the title. Couldn’t watch the race yesterday evening, and your video was the first to come up for me. Turns out my Dead-Eye Dick uncle bet on the winner, by the way. Thanks again-I like your videos the most! I can see why BloodHorse noticed your camera eye.

[@apharoah12]

Thanks for watching!

[@annalefsrud3132]

Your Mom did a GREAT job. Watching the races yesterday, was thinking your coverage would be so much more interesting The walk over is truly special. Maybe a bit too much noise & loud music for the horses entering that 'human zone', but so great to be in the midst of it. Still adore Sierra Leone, but very happy for Brian Hernandez & his perfect ride. Many thx.

[@julia190]

Hands down you have the best coverage of race events. Always feel like i am at the track. Thank you once again, keep up the great work. Hard to believe you don't have more subscribers.

[@MannyPancho1024]

That race was surely a blast

[@Jameswormsley319]

🔥🔥🔥

[@user-mp9gy9pz6o]

150 run...GREAT😮😮😮

[@Danny-jb6pg]

No injured horses during this Derby, that's good

[@iwazzabadboy1982]

Great coverage!!!!!! Thanks for

[@MuhammadArif-li3xi]

Hello, greetings from Indonesia, your recording is very cool and impressive, thank you for the horse profile data you provided, it is very amazing, I really appreciate your efforts to find all that information, when my horse runs in the Kentucky Derby / Kentucky Oaks someday, I hope you can also cover it, I hope your channel will be more advanced and developed in the future. Keep it up.

[@Mar.T.365]

Great perspective of that thrilling stretch drive!!

[@nestormolero7250]

What a wonderful video and awesome Kentucky Derby!... keep up the outstanding work! 🐎👏

[@semperclassic]

Thank you! Best coverage by far. I’m so happy for Mystik Dan and team. He ran a smart and gutsy race. ❤ I did not like what happened in the stretch between Sierra Leone and Forever Young. Regardless of who is to blame, it looked dangerous.

[@Redwhiteblue-gr5em]

Totally enjoyable. Feels like I’m there among the KD field . This makes up for the awful NBC coverage focusing more on celebrities and talking heads and too many commercials.

[@pdkrace]

Someone in the comments days ago thought Fierceness was off on his left shoulder.I didnt see it,but maybe there is something to it. Why he stopped running is troublesome.

[@teresasaunders6842]

That is amazing footage!

[@DChange17]

amazing coverage, love your channel.

[@apharoah12]

Thanks for watching!

[@Tatyana........]

Thank you very much for the wonderful video! ❤❤❤

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Great coverage as usual. Watching your earlier videos of the works made me wonder if Fierceness was losing too much weight. Hope he's okay. Congrats to the winner!

[@derekstecher8688]

Insightful observation on Fierceness! In all honesty, he looks so bad, they probably should have scratched him. His connections could not have felt good going into the race.

[@thecarguy4304]

Durn sounds like they were about to fight in the stands lol

[@DonnaCsuti-ji2dd]

Definitely the😂 best footage, really gave the feel of being there . Heart warming people wishing luck, family of the owners trainers etc the whole picture and excitement really caught it all. Thanks so much for filming and sharing this beautiful video

[@Danny-jb6pg]

People don't listen, back up means back up

[@rikinine]

Great Footage thanks

[@bishlap]

was Sierra Leone best? Great ride by Hernandez, and Tyler played it as his horse only could, from way back. Great race. I bet 2 W/ the 2 Japanese horses...close but no cigar. Pharoah, THANKS!

[@glass_oni0n]

You could argue he was…since Affirmed won in 78 from the 2 post, 11 top-five betting choices have drawn the 2 post and none had finished better than third prior to Sierra Leone. I played against him on that basis and he proved me wrong, he's a beast…and regrettably he also probably should have come down for almost knocking Forever Young off his feet. Thankfully I had a solid win bet on #3, Mystik Dan and Just Steel were my long-shots to Fierceness

[@bishlap]

@@glass_oni0n I'd guess we're looking @ SL in the Belmont which is run @ Saratoga this and next year. Built for the 1/1/2. Now rooting hard for MD to win Preakness and set up "rematch" in Belmont? Any thoughts?

[@NoraLuzCalugas]

Beautiful Horses💼📋🛡😎🐎🐎🐎🐎

[@Danny-jb6pg]

What camera phone do you have, perfect quality

[@apharoah12]

IPhone 13 Pro

[@ernesthercher5193]

It’s as good as the network with a phone amazing!

[@ernesthercher5193]

The winner is out of a mare that cost 9.5K on a 20K stud fee. And he beat a horse that cost 2.3 million.

Salvador Ruiz Arellano de mexico felicidadez mystik dan

[@joelloyd6069]

was a great race ! I like the 3 since he had that amazing run where he had to go inside and outside during the race to get to the finish line. I forgot what race but he ran really well that day. I hit the tri a few times and I messed up the superfecta because I used the 11 in 4th not 3rd place and I didn't realize it. 😢 horseplayers cry for needing help. 800#🤑😁

[@joey.d1337]

11 Forever Young wins without the 2 knocking him off stride..Total BS ..Best horse finished 3 rd

[@anonthehousemouse]

If it wasn't for Mystik Dan I would have had the trifecta - my (non-existent) bet was Sierra Leone, Forever Young, and Catching Freedom... 😢

[@joey.d1337]

FY would ve won if the 2 stayed straight..Complete bs that he was allowed to mug tht horse and cost Japan the win.

[@alexanderhernandez2977]

Jaramillo donde esta

[@Danny-jb6pg]

What horse was scratched

[@apharoah12]

Encino, #9

[@noelgaynor783]

I believe if Tyler was all out on sierra Leone he would have caught mystic dan he was too casual not once did he use the whip or even show it to the horse great finish though

[@Hajoos461]

The jockey on sierra leone has to get a fine or suspension he bumped the japanese horse 3 to 4 times

[@joey.d1337]

He caused the 11 the win ..Total BS ,They allow tht crap

[@user-dr6jy9pl6h]

🥰❤️🐎

[@thecarguy4304]

I saw a peewee herman look alike lol

[@fahad8085]

💐💐💐😊

[@user-fv7vy6zu4n]

85 percent of the people who bet loss money, only winner were owners,jockey, and trainer.the 15 percent who won bet it all back. No winner 😢

[@lizziesangi1602]

That British hat wear for women has taken fancy in the States is appalling! Halloween is something else but please keep those things they call "hats" in the UK!

[@derekstecher8688]

Fierceness is by far the worst looking horse of the field! His connections could not have felt good going into the race!

[@derekstecher8688]

Fierceness looks so stale and nondescript! No constitutiion or substance. Not in condition to run a 11/4 mile race!
