The last 1/8 mile in particular was incredible. Sonny masterfully moves him around a tiring Messier and shows him the leader. Rich Strike sees the leader down the entire stretch and wants to catch him. Sonny asks Rich Strike to give him what he has left, and Rich Strike gives it to him. This is the epitome of Jockey & Horse.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

That was pretty watch for sure! I love the overhead view. What an upset and story!

[@stevestretch877]

From now on throw in the horse that has the best story behind it. It was just destiny for Rich Strike and company. 🙏

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Yes that was unreal! What a story!

[@easportz_withaz176]

0:18 was my reaction too! 😂 I'm just glad I was able to see it live. One of the greatest moments in racing that I've experienced in my first year of handicapping. Keep up the good vids man!

[@Weekendhandicapper]

I appreciate the feedback and comment! I hope you enjoy handicapping and betting horses as much as I have.

[@usaejxf16]

Thank you for helping frame my losses on the Kentucky Derby by reminding me of 'Black Swan' events! I was having trouble reconciling studying the horses and thinking I could make an intelligent bet then the 2022 Derby happened. I am now going to look at horse racing as a long game.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Yes it is a long game for shore. Just do what you need to do to stay in the game until one of your big payouts come along. And they will come if you think differently from the crowd and can be right about it every now and then. All the best to you!

[@maryhassell5842]

That was funny opening!!

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Haha. Thank you Mary!

[@DerbyBandit]

8:22 me 😂….we’ll get it next year and start a new streak 🙌🏇😎

[@lbarbados38]

Had the exacta, Epicenter box with ALL. Rich strike broke his maiden at Churchill by 17 length. Also had a great work the week before the derby. Saw it on the morning works show. Also just luck I threw him in there.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

That is awesome! Way to bet that race!

[@mulatto2776]

I played him as my Longshot bet. He went a mile in 1:36 at Churchill in a 17 length win. Never trust Beyer speed figures.

[@petrotmyrcz308]

Congrats.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Great job Nathan. I tend to agree. Speed figures are some of the most overused things out there. Everyone looks at them and takes too much stock in them which ends up driving down the odds. Nice pick man!

[@vickisigler8626]

Thanks for the tips. New to betting on horse 🐎 racing. Make a nice small gain on this derby.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

You are welcome! Hopefully you enjoy it! As long as the horses are treated well and are safe then it is a great challenge and a fun gambling game.

[@dnice8451]

Lol good video. I had 2nd ,3rd 4th but not the bomb . What do u think he s odds will be if he runs in the Preakness?

[@Weekendhandicapper]

I had 2,3 and almost 4th. But nice selections D Nice! I don't see him taking too much money in the Preakness might be more of a Belmont horse. I would say 4-1 or 5-1 in the Preakness. I know I will try to beat him in the Preakness.

[@dnice8451]

@@Weekendhandicapper same here . Hope secret oath, and early voting run too

[@INITIALGTMR2]

The trifecta payout at my local tab was over $113,000. I always kick myself for not doing one ticket with the biggest outsider being in the picture, oh well next year.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Wow! Unreal!!! One ticket like that can make one's whole handicapping career and change someone life forever.

[@shawnspivey9650]

I had a little 2.00 saver bet on 17, 18, 19, 21, so 163.00 covered all my derby bets. RICH STRIKE, was sired by KEEN ICE, he beat American Pharoah in the travers

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Nice!!!

[@jodipowers8781]

I had a big exacta I mean big with Epicenter with Zandon I was so down.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Same here Jodi. I had that exacta combo and was hoping Mo Donegal could get past Simplification. I thought we had it in the stretch!!!

[@samhiscox3511]

It reminded me of Borel and Street Sense , my horse simplification was closing also . I hit a couple during the day only to put it back , no regrets . Now we got the Preakness, uh oh .

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Both of those were pretty rides!

[@vickisigler8626]

Just thought I would try a long shot well it worked for me . Just got luck on that pick.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Awesome Vicki great job!!!

[@UncleBuck560]

Brother, the Handicapping Gods had to keep all us handicappers on our toes! He threw us a curve ball!

[@Weekendhandicapper]

No doubt about that!

[@dnice8451]

How u telling bro

[@gooeybeast74]

New rule should be set in place for scratches and bubble horse to fill in the spot, no last minute bs. 19 horse is enough when ethereal road was scratch!!

[@ronaldgooding3623]

why because the best horse won

[@Weekendhandicapper]

I need to go back and see if Rich Strike had enough points to get in. If he hadn't won since last September then one would think he didn't have enough points versus others. I need to look more into it though.

[@meganhill453]

You’re just salty you lost money

[@gooeybeast74]

@@meganhill453 actually I won, only loser go for a Disney fairy tale story. This horse will not win preakness, skip preakness and possibly win Belmont with a slight chance.

[@omegatheoriginal]

It's the Coach fault for scratching Ethereal Road.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Damn you D. Wayne! It is bad enough his horse beat me in the Oaks!

[@omegatheoriginal]

@@Weekendhandicapper I loved Secret Oath. I won money on Friday with her.

[@K2mtp]

I didn't win but I think horse racing won.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Well said Kenny!!!! I think you might be right!

[@jamesstaples770]

Hello I lost every Bet I made when I kead a horse that didn't work and when I boxed 3 or 4 that didn't work either Just had a bad day all together

[@Weekendhandicapper]

I hate days like that. Just dust yourself off and wait for other opportunities.

[@kentkluge7721]

I had epicenter zandon box and I lose wtf guess it was aff curlin

[@Weekendhandicapper]

I had some exactas including 3 over the 10. I was feeling good in the stretch but I guess it wasn't meant to be this time!

[@petrotmyrcz308]

Oh if only.... I can't believe I let that longshot get away. Said almost everyone!

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Haha true!

[@BigSlim48916]

Good job. Get me ready for Preakness. Like you said move on. Derby in 2weeks. Help us. Move on

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Thank you and no problem! To me the Preakness is the "easiest" of all Triple Crown races to handicap. Rarely does something crazy and unexplainable ever happen in the Preakness.

[@rasheedazar]

Two words: hunch bet.

[@Weekendhandicapper]

Way to Strike it Rich, Rich! And listen to your hunch. That is great!!

[@CarlosGarcia-fj2jh]

Sean you know damn well you would never have bet on Rich strike he had nothing to handicap on nobody would have better on them

[@Weekendhandicapper]

That is exactly right! Never would have had that horse. That is for sure.
