It was a joy to see some people who actually are down to earth hard working, every-day people that are humble and most deserving of the wonderful reward of winning the Kentucky Derby. Thanks for setting a good example through your work ethic, your faith, family values, and making THE horse your 1st priority. Much love and respect to all of yous. RICH STRIKE . . Proof that MIRACLES do HAPPEN : )

Rich strike really did something special it was the best Kentucky Derby I've seen in a long time he is an awesome horse

[@atticuskilby515]

The people's horse, overlooked and undervalued, when the chips were down, he came through in spades.

[@ratso4443]

Mr Reed is the force behind this whole story, from all the prepping he did on the outside chance they’d get in, to the outpouring of love from all sides by people who just like him a lot. Bravo Reed! You’ve inspired me!

I'm moving to Louisa Kentucky to take care of my parents, hopefully I'll be able to visit some of the horse farms & make some races

[@alex_the_excellent]

From the top to the bottom, I've only observed love and good people behind Rich Strike. The owner, trainer, jockey, groomers, family. Everyone involved deserved that Derby win. You are inspiring and a light in an industry that has its ups and downs. Don't change and I hope all future people in horse racing look at these folks as absolute models. ❤

Dare to dream. Interesting Rich Strike's two wins were at Churchill Downs and both were killer runs in the straight. I love this story.
