I've watched it several times now and also noticed the jockey's skill at 0:41 when he splits the two horses in order to have open track to really accelerate. He came very close to fouling the horse on the left.

So cool when the underdog wins. And how many people at the tracks said hell I’ll put $10 on the longest odds and then got paid.

The announcer didn't even mention Rich Strike until he was about to win.

Exactly what happened.

Also lots of luck and a horse that had way more left than anyone else. If everyone was on the rail he would have been out of luck.

$2 bet earned $163.60

...and a tax form to fill out. You'd be better off with ten $2.00 tickets cashed by several people at different windows. Wink

That horse was so amped up after the race. It was biting the reins of the horse trying to lead it. Sort of the Mr. T of horses.
