[@brentmagnussen3173]

When the announcer does NOT bet on Mystik Dan..... Kind of tough to miss that savage ride by Brian Hernandez. Congrats to everyone involved with Mystik Dan. Can't ask for much more in the 150th Kentucky Derby than a 3-horse photo finish. Awesome.

[@thetraveller485]

The commentator one sided 90% of them tite the favorite to the wining ...races is run on the day and mystic dan prove himself a champion

[@PaulMossmedia]

This will go down as one of the top 3 Kentucky derby’s of all-time.Ppl who are not even in to horse racing was talking about this finish ✅💯.Great race

[@Iconfuseu2000]

Legit this was the first one i ever watched live since i had some money on mystik dan and im even more happy i won 😂

[@9Ballr]

1:44 "And Resilience has now moved up to take the lead!" I'm thinking maybe Mystik Dan along the rail is actually in the lead.

[@willdevenport6980]

Yep. He seemed to botch that or he was on a delay.

Wow Larry did u fucking blow that call.

[@chris-tg1hv]

Especially for those of us who bet on Mystik Dan. 😮

[@2fox76]

​@chris-tg1hv his call didn't change the outcome or affect you lmao he simply missed a move with so much going on outside

[@chris-tg1hv]

​@@2fox76From 1:43 to 1:52 he had the wrong horse in front. 9 seconds in the stretch of the Kentucky Derby. I'm sure he is a great announcer but he f'ed up here.

[@2fox76]

@chris-tg1hv it's an honest mistake I know he messed it up but his call didn't change the outcome. People losing their minds like he's a ref that cost someone a game. If Joe Buck called the wrong name nobody would even care. I'm confused why ppl are losing their gourds!! I was at the event had money on it and can care less if the venue guy called it wrong. That's just me I'm an understanding human 😉

[@suzanneyoung8011]

When I watched this live I knew that Collmus had blown the call. I saw the winner moving up on the rail before he came through that hole, and knew he was going to burst through to be the winner. His call was very reminiscent of the 2009 Derby when Tom Durkin missed Mine That Bird's move to the lead on the rail.

[@Titter2]

Same thing happened with Rich Strike in '22

[@suzanneyoung8011]

@@Titter2 yes! That should have prompted him to keep a better eye on the rail, but I think he was focused on that large front line of horses as they fanned out, but they quickly faded. I couldn't even figure out which one he said took the lead because my eyes were on the rail horse.

[@LightingInvoker]

Yes yes yes! I'll never forget how Durkin blew that call 😂

[@johnanthony6191]

He missed M Dan until the last furlong.... what race was he watching? ! LOL. That was a brutal fight to the finish and B Hernandez BULLED his way thru to win! He did have enough horse to get it done.

[@Barman542]

Haven't seen a finish like that in a long time.. GREAT RACE

[@chrislowe4070]

Not a very good call Larry. Literally was getting horses confused. Mystic Dan was well ahead down the stertch but there's Larry saying a horse who was actually in 3rd had taken the lead lol. Come now.

[@rendragmedia]

Check out Travis Stone's in-house when available.

[@damrontech]

He missed Mystic Dan moving up on the rail. With the outside action, it’s understandable.

[@LightingInvoker]

​@@damrontechNah, it's not. You shouldn't be making errors like that (like calling the wrong horse in the lead and not acknowledging the leader until the 16th pole) in the Kentucky Derby.

Relax papi.....get a safe space

[@joeyyoung322]

Kinda of a joke the way Sierra Leone bumped and harassed Forever Young all the way down the stretch.... drifting in the length of the stretch and bumping. Cost him the race more than likely. Congrats to Mcpeek and B. Hernandez though.

[@wecandobetter9821]

i totally agree with you. Hard to understand why his jockey didn’t claim being fouled. If he did most likely would have been put in 2nd place. Horse deserved better

[@halifaxhunting1034]

What are u smoking. SL is a cheap and TG. FY was best horse n they did everything possible for him not to win. ​@petervoight9463

[@oldiesgeek454]

I wish they had shown a head on view of the stretch run. But unless there's a claim of foul, I assume that's the reason they don't show it. If anyone knows where I can see a head on view, please let me know... Thanks. 😊

[@Shiny101]

Boohoo

[@niterider5327]

this was like watching a nascar race

[@kcsweesy]

That guy is a legend, he is so fun to listen to, he makes the race fun to watch!

[@ST-lm9bh]

That was one of the best rides I have ever seen. If you checked Mystik Dans races he runs like a monster on the rail. Brian got him to the rail , actually hustled him out to get that perfect trip position. Had to have a ton of balls to squeeze through at the top of the stretch and that is why that horse won. Otherwise the 2 closers would have passed him. Also Sierra Leone should have been placed 3rd for bumping and taking the 11's path throughout the stretch run..

[@Lilbro68]

Wow,what a race

[@Jameswormsley319]

👍👍

[@anthonyd6370]

Great squeeze by m.d.'s jockey on the final turn

[@JulianGarcia-yr5dl]

What a race !!! Awsome derby

[@jamespenny9482]

Mystick Dan took the short route the whole way.

[@Timmy1825]

Larry Collmus blew the call of this race. He didn’t spot Mystik Dan squeezing through on the rail before they straightened away in the turn. He had resilience in the lead quarter of the way down the stretch and then finally noticed who was in the lead and said he just squeaked through along the rail. he had done that 10 seconds earlier. Terrible call!

[@cookielicious9949]

Mystik Dan finished by a hair whew! That was close. Good job Mystik Dan, Sierra Leone and undefeated Forever Young. 🐎

[@robertgarcia7643]

Larry C is a great race caller But....He totally missed when Mystic Dan made his move thru on the rail and took the lead! Larry didn't see him until he was well clear of all the others.

[@Bluemoonfarm17]

[@DanielWhite-gb8hg]

I picked Mystik Dan simply because our names are similar. Tracked him the entire way and noted that brilliant move on the rail to take the lead. Collmus didn't see it and, as others have said, he never acknowledged MD in the lead (he had at least THREE lengths) until 1/4 to go. It was a terrible mistake. Maybe he should buy a horse and call it MissedIt Larry.

[@larryst.andrie]

Took you a while to see Mystik Dan was leading. You were so enthralled with Fierceness.

[@christineheminger7762]

They used to have the timer running up in the corner. Why take that out?

[@user-nz9li6ck6s]

OH don't tell me who won out of the 3 horses that was awesome 👍 and scary you can see the horses side by side very risky stuff.Not for the faint at heart ❤️.

[@user-nz9li6ck6s]

I saw a different perspective of the race yesterday and the horses were going so incredibly fast.I swear I saw white paint fly up in spray . That is how fast the field of horses were flying around the track. Incredible race yesterday.

[@user-nz9li6ck6s]

Did anyone else watching the Kentucky Derby see white paint spray flying up as the winner went around the 1st turn or going towards it on inside rails. The animals were going so fast OMG 😱😳. Perspective your videos looking back to the main grandstand direction.

[@user-uk8dv8fk1v]

Wayne here - Sorry, but Larry Collmus blew that call. If you want to hear a GREAT call of the Derby listen to Travis Stone's call of the same race as Churchill's track announcer.

[@winstonelston5743]

"...and Mother-In-Law nagging in the rear!..." Winstead Weaver in Spike Jones and the City Slicker's performance of the _William Tell_ Overture

[@redbullmax662]

Collmus was too focused on the 2 horses in the middle of the track and didnt see the leader Mystik Dan until the last 1/4 mile. Too bad because it was one of the races for the Derby for years for spectators.

[@christineheminger7762]

Time is how records are set in horse racing. We have digital clocks that can determine the time to hundredths of a second-it’s ridiculous how many places I had to check to find the official finish time-2:03.34. They showed the 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4. I don’t understand how advancing technologically has not made things better

Ahhhh Larry you kinda missed it! Still a legend really tough job.

[@uco1235]

If the 2 (Sierra Leone) wasn't bumping hard into 11 (Forever Young), 11 would have won by a head over 2. The 3 (Mystic Dan) would have been another head behind in third.

[@beebsarelli]

Well you may very well see it that way...but consider that #3 Mystic Dan...had to literally push the lead horse out of the way to get into the lead... that's a thousand pounds to push aside and still get by without going over the rail... for a small horse that was a winning act of courage....in my books! He literally gave it all he had...and won only by a whisker...and not even another stride... but he won! Even Hernandez knew it.... is why he put his stick away.....he could not be persuaded, he gave it all, he had nothing left!

[@Makado14]

Uco1235 I don't know who you are, but I love you. That's exactly the way I saw it. And for MD shoving a bigger horse over to get through, how about carrying a bigger horse for nearly a quarter of a mile and just missing by a nose?

[@nicholase.9195]

The announcer absolutely choked his call of the Derby. The same thing happened in 2002(?) when Funny Cide was taking the lead and they were too focused on the favorites. If I remember correctly, he lost his job over it. Mystic Dan was my pic so I was watching him the entire race and when the guy said that the other horse took the lead, I was like how can he not see the horse on the rail? Tunnel vision through binoculars that’s how.

Exactly! My grandparents were so frugal but they had a TON of money on both sides. I remember my grandfather telling me "you want to make money while you sleep." And I guess that attitude passed down to my dad (RIP), because I remember going to his house one day and I had bought something I really liked, so I wanted to show it to him. So I said "Look at this! Isn't it cute? It was on sale...I saved 50%!" My dad replied "Well, if you're spending, you're not saving." Obviously I had no retort, and that has always stuck with me.

Dave Collmus did flub his Derby call this year like Durkin did in 2009. Dave was focused on Resilience and said he was leading when Mystic Dan on his inside was actually leading. Perhaps his binoculars made him myopic at that moment. It’s ok. He’s only human. Not every call will be perfect. Still not as bad as Tom’s in 2009.
