Rich Strike All Career Starts in 16 Min. Belmont Contender Gate 4 (9-2)

[@revello103]

Aside from his endurance pedigree, the one thing that really sticks out about Rich Strike is his affinity for the Churchill Downs track. That Maiden Claiming $30 thousand win (by 16 lengths in a darn fast mile time) was astounding for a relatively young 2-year old. If I was the owner, after the Triple Crown races are finished, I'd be entering Rich Strike into any stakes or high $ allowance route races at Churchill. Rich Strike would be like a John Henry at that track. The jockey, Sonny Leon, rode an amazing race - stop/go's galore, and swerve in/out and saving distance along the rail -- masterful job.

[@agro2612]

I couldn't even imagine the faces of the two jockeys look like as sonny Leon was passing by them.

[@BankofSpirit]

Rich Strike reminds me of Giant Oak, GO was a great closer who's win in the Donn Handicap was amazing. But this is truly a great horse, seems that he needs a mile to warm up and then he goes into another gear, great race! Thanks for the upload.

[@khamir49]

Rubbed horses for 8 years. Watched all career starts of Rich Strike. The Derby run brought tears to my eyes. Masterful ride, masterful run. Horse & rider are both very bold. It almost, not quite, reminded me of the way John Henry used to run, and Leon reminds me a lot of Pat Day, who rode a couple of horses I rubbed. I hope Rich Strike "woke up" at the Derby, and I really look forward to following this colt.

[@agro2612]

In my younger teen years I met Jack Klugman and Mickey Rooney at the pad lock / tunnel where the horses came out to the track at Santa Anita. It was the 9th race and last race of the day and I asked Mickey if he had a good trip for the race and he came back and said YA..! Go Home.... you'll save your money. I actually took his advice.

[@agro2612]

You wrote that the horse reminded you of John Henry. After watching it for the 50th time the Sonny Leon reminded me of Calvin Borel and his win on Mine that Bird..

[@karenlloyd2453]

Rick Strike is a strong endurance horse, he's also a closer. His jockey has alot of smarts by the way he maneuvered him through the openings in the pack to pass them up and he had enough stamina to pass the leader and win the derby!!! Rich Strike has the endurance to handle the Belmont.

The jockey are taking the house on the inside and the horse are winning

[@darrelltalbott4830]

[@jolow7082]

But I don’t think he can handle the Preakness, the biggest reason he won the derby is because of such a fast pace from the front runners but that won’t happen in the preakness

[@davidthompson62]

Rich strike did have some luck as at the far turn a path cleared right up for him. He still had to clear a slower horse in front of him, to hen showed the heart of a champ running down the 2 front runners. Congrats to the As inner!

P.S. Reed claimed Rich Strike off that turf race for $30,000. He felt like he didn't run well because he didn't like the turf. He turned out to be right about that. Fun Fact: Racing colors same as Seabiscuit. :)

[@RustyGaming983]

Fun fact: rich strike broke his maiden in Churchill downs with 17 length.

[@frankammirati3385]

He is a sea biscuit for sure , clearly likes the longer distance races and really turns the heat on mid race , shorter tracks are his enemy . I watched the Kentucky derby and he seemed to be annoyed the race was over , ears up as he crossed the finish line and his body language said I want too keep going .

[@kwgrid]

@@frankammirati3385 He was so amped up, he went after the outrider's pony horse and outrider, too. He had nips on his leg and arm. Tried to take a chunk out of the pony horse's neck.

[@kwgrid]

@@RustyGaming983 Didn't do squat after that. They say he has a preference for Churchill. Nice cover. If you watch his races, in the majority of them, Leon is not even riding him.

[@frankammirati3385]

@@kwgrid I seen that and seen comments saying he was stressed out , this is just my opinion because I haven’t been around horses in quit some time , if he was stressed at all it was because he was stopped from continuing his run , when they are gassed out they don’t act like when the race is over . My guess is he is at the right and time in his life where he got it figured out , he is starting to enjoy the competition . I’ve always felt they are mood sensitive animals .

[@fishingpinky3165]

That was freaking AMAZING. Hope we have another TRIPLE CROWN with RICH STRIKE!

[@jeffreyisenberg830]

He may have a great chance to win the Belmont but the Preakness with its shorter distance and tight turns will be a real challenge for this horse. I heard the trainer during a post race interview state that there is even a possibility he could skip the Preakness. Hoping that doesn't happen. He deserves the chance and it would be a great disappointment to the fans if he doesn't run.

[@CaptCap25]

Great Derby ride, he needed that hot pace to close into. Epicenter had a flawless race as well, just got nipped at the wire.

[@lbarbados38]

Got the exacta box with Epicenter, yeah!! I think a lot of bettors got hosed on the derby because the draw in by Rich Strike wasn't until the day before, a lot of people didn't have a chance to study his PP's. But a 16 length win at CD- he obviously loves the track!

[@dustynathan6442]

You'll NEVER seen another exacta, any where in the world, that includes the favorite that pays 2000-1.

[@steeloned]

He ran away from a nothing field to break his maiden at CD. How does that actually influence one to consider RS as a true contender after his performances leading up to the derby? In other words, RS won a single race and was mediocre in between. Congrats BTW.

Thanks for putting these races together for us lazy people lol. But anyway I've been a horse gambler for 30 years for some reason I was always like the horses that like the close in long distance races. The Belmont will be a good distance for RICH STRIKE. Just from my observation I believe Rick strike will win the Belmont. So take RICH STRIKE with WE THE PEOPLE AND ALL for your trifecta. You will come on here and thank me later

[@discoveringhorseracing3078]

Glad you guts are finding them useful!

[@dustynathan6442]

Never saw the maiden race until now. But did go back to the DRF and noticed he won at Churchill by an insane 17. And, as I stated after the race, each race in his last six had gone farther and he got FASTER the farther he went. He should have been more like 30-1, not 80-1. What caused it, I think, is that he wasn't entered until Friday. As an A.E. it was known he didn't have the points to enter. So nobody even looked at him to analyze his improvement. Additionally, his rider is the LEADING rider at his track in Ohio. Big overlook produced a big overlay. It's really amazing that the chalk finished 2nd and the exacta odds were 2,000-1.

[@paulsozio2488]

It's obvious that this horse likes the Churchill Downs surface after watching all his races

[@tje.6516]

15:57 you can see the groomer for Rich Strike Jerry Dixon Jr. in the bottom left cheering on his boy!

[@peterbarry1194]

After watching all of his races, the only way this horse could possibly win this race is if the fractions had to be crazy like they were yesterday. Amazing! This is why this is a great sport!

[@harris87389]

this horse is a fluke

[@alan2698]

Any chance you say/explain that in layman's? I think I know what you mean but not 100%. I don't follow the sport and just been curious since the race results.

[@peterbarry1194]

In layman’s terms, the lead horses set a very fast pace, and by the end tired because of this, allowing closers to come from behind and beat them. This horse is dead on closer, and if you look at his past races, he’s almost always in last place from the start.

[@alan2698]

@@peterbarry1194 I appreciate your time. About what I was thinking. Be well!

[@dustynathan6442]

You saw it, but you still don't believe it? Yes the fast fractions helped. But in each of his last six races he has gone farther. In each has gone notably faster. His rider is the leader where he races, so he certainly isn't incompetent. This horse is markedly improving. Although he won't be favored to win the Preakness, he'll be facing a much smaller, softer field than in Louisville. His owner should buy a Triple Crown eligible, and use the horse as a rabbit in the Belmont to blow up the front end, and in my mind, Rich Strike would be 6-5 to win the third leg if he gets a fast pace in front. Good luck!

Yes, he does seem to have a love affair with Churchill Downs. Even at that, he was ridden very aggressively. Fun fact: Rich Strike is out of a Smart Strike mare. So is Mine That Bird.

[@beverlyreiner-baillargeon6205]

[@scottjones5455]

Been a race fan for 40 years and I must say I have never seen a less deserving winner based on past performances. The way he savaged his pony after the race was another strange event. A winner like this makes fools of handicappers. It will be interesting to watch his future races.

[@harris87389]

agree with you and i must say that in this race were at least another 5-6 closers and none showed mid pack stalkers like epicenter and others and all failed to perform thats why i said this horse is not a triple crown horse and his previous races prove that.

[@THERIDESHAREMINUTE]

Sometimes it just comes down to the way a horse likes a certain race track. In all his prep races he was getting beat by several of the horses who were also in the derby. But, when you see how he won his maiden race, even though it was a cheap 30k claiming race. He still ran a decent time over the Churchill track. He obviously didn't like the grass. So I'm not sure why they ran a few synthetic derby preps. And they barely earned enough points to qualify because he placed 3rd and he only got to run because of a late scratch. It's just one of those crazy things that happens every once in a while in horse racing that everyone just goes what the fuck just happened. But hey. You never know. There have been several claiming horses that went from claiming races to grade 1 stakes champions. John Henry, Seebiscuit and lava man are the 3 i know off the top of my head.

[@jeffreyisenberg830]

@@THERIDESHAREMINUTE One of my strongest handicapping strategies is how the horse ran at the track he is currently running. I took a look at Rich Creek for that reason but thought he was too cheap. Stupid me. Another mistake I made was not back wheeling Epicenter in the exacta as I played him to win, place, and show. I often back wheel my choice in a $2 exacta in large fields but did not do so in this race and it paid over 4K. As Don Meredith once said on a Monday night football game " If the if's and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas".

[@christiancowboy352]

@@discoveringhorseracing3078 Yes, I saw that right after I made this comment. I'm not really surprised, he's a distance come from behind horse. It's a whole lot harder to get through the pack in time to run them down in a short race. So, it's better to not put the out on him, and have him fresh for the Belmont. Most longshots that hit usually go back to being longshots. But, every once in awhile you have that horse who comes into his own and figures it out. It'll be interesting to see. It's a great story, and I'm rooting for him along with everyone else.

Interesting interview with the trainer today. Long story short, when he asked Sonny Leon to work with the horse at the beginning he told him "He won't win anything for a while, but stick with me and everyone will know your name." I'm trying very hard not to be paranoid, but it sounds like a game plan to me that includes deliberately losing some races knowing that horse could win 'em all to set up monstrous odds for the Derby. For pete's sake just think about it. The planets would all have to align and the dominoes fall perfectly for that horse to get in the Derby in the first place.

[@thisbridgehascables]

Rich Strike is possibly the next Big Red if he can maintain his speed and distance. He was still accelerating as he passed the line.. he must have great endurance. Doubt he was being pushed to hard in early races. It’s not always about winning it’s testing the horses behavior and ability to keep pace. A good training is gauging many variables of the horse per race to determine stability of the horse, any injuries..etc He needs to be conditioned then let loose, to many race horses get injured from being not well tested and to young, bone structure is not solid enough, easy to have a life threatening injury; leg break.

[@larrytuttle3529]

Next Secratariat? Are you on drugs? Secretariat won nearly all of his races from beginning to end. I love this longshot pony, but he was setup by a 1 in a million pace scenario.

Andnow I'm basically proven right, since he's not even running in the Preakness. But not that disappointed. Nice to see connections that care more about the horse than fame and glory

Talked to some friends sounds like other betting sites had problems too.

[@CPRATTBOSTON]

Useless TVG crashed could not bet the derby after 4pm eastern. Luckily I went to the track early to get the racing form and put a few throw away bets in one of which was $5 on the winner. I was planning on studying and betting the derby watch more youtube videos then make my real bets on TVG. TVG closing my account.

After checking I seen other races of this horse and there were many hell he even ran one with " Epicenter " And Epicenter won that race leaving this horse behind in the dirt I wasn't impress at all with any of his races , And then they put this horse in on the last day 30 seconds before the deadline and this Plug wins the greatest race in history , And then after race the horse is bitting the the other horse many times over , Begins to make one wonder what is really going on when seeing a real plug like this when a great race in was impossible by this horse to win any race without any help thats my own in my opinion and raises alot of questions I say it the way I seen it and cannot say it was the track we will find out , I personally seen it all and I ain't no dummy , Yes you all might say it was just pure luck me am waiting for the real results then I will call it pure Luck

Kentucky Derby History ... I have ever saw in my life and I hate to use that word .. Juice ? .. As you said questionable but to see what that horse did after race is where all the bitting on the other horse and the guy sitting on that horse an just out of control is where all my red flags went up for me for the juice , And there were alot of true good horses in this race that horse could of never touch or even come close to winning after watching the videos on this plug and call it out the way it see it on heard of ..

[@larrytuttle3529]

Rich Strike has captivated a nation of horse racing fans. I was excited to see his history. So ive been all in on the horses and trainers vids. A warning my takeaway has soured. This video shows... Sunny Leone gave this horse 1 good ride. Fortunately for the horse on the biggest day of horse racing. My opinion... aside from one lucky ride, Sunny Leone is a miserably mediocre jock. Reeds notion in previous interviews of Leone having a great feel of pace and timing is laughable. The connections running this horse on the poly crap after his big maiden victory on dirt is baffling. After the derby, if they ever take him back off dirt, their racing licenses need revoked. Glad to see small time guys get the derby win. Love it being a longshot closer. The horse defied all the odds. Including his jockey and connections decisions.

[@diannacarey6508]

Your opinion isn't worth the toilet paper you wipe with

[@osvaldoramos8824]

This is why many people lose fortunes while betting. Did you see this horse’s past performances? Come on people? If this horse had such abilities would he have been at these odds? Either they were just joking and preparing for this one, or someone just fooled everyone.. this horse according to his races had a better opportunity to not run than to win, he wins like if he were Zandon or any other horse in this race. The rider? He doesn’t even know how to get to the racetrack without a guide. Get real please. I understand upset are upsets, this was not an upset, something smells very wrong. The way he ran he should win the triple crown easily.

He is highly inbred. If I were a TB breeder I would be wary of the high COI he has honestly.

[@agro2612]

The whole scenario looked a slim shady to me. How is it this horse even got to race in the derby amazes me. Everything to get this horse to run was within minutes almost. I don't how this horse won? Nothing to show on paper that it could compete with better horses. Then I think about the money that was involved on the derby alone. Haven't scene that kind of money in years. The horse racing business cleaned up and made a lot of money because I can't see any ody win the superfecta nor tri and very little won an extra. Maybe just a fluke.

[@allysonh6410]

He likes CD turf

[@agro2612]

Allison Rich Strike hated the turf. He was so bad that the trainer put him on turf again. His first race was on turf and never touched it again. After watching the race for the 50th time. What I thought was a fixed race was not. The jockey knew what that thoroughbred was all about and hand rid that horse perfectly. Sonny Leon reminded me a little of Calvin Borel .

Hey Casey, let me guess, you lost money on the Derby. The only way this horse wins is in a hot pace. None of his races were a hot pace, only the Derby. If the pace went 23 and change and then 47 and change we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Take the tin hat off Casey, Rich Strike won fair and square. Also, don’t be surprised if they don’t enter him in the Preakness and wait for the Belmont. Preakness is too short at a mile and 1/8. Enjoy the win!!!!
