💬 Kentucky Derby

[It Takes Eleven]

That was a good race, Golden Tempo at 23 to 1 comes from dead last - jockey making a last-to-first move very late - to edge out his brother riding the favorite.

Somebody made some money on that bet.

Very strong horse and a great rider made a lot of people proud. Also, the jockey had a great message for kids in the interview while still on his mount for the cool down.

I forgot all about the race today. I do not remember the last Derby I missed.

Yes, I loved that. Learn English, work hard, be respectful were the three lessons I heard that he had for kids in his native Puerto Rico.

It was an impressive win. It was even more impressive when you watch the overhead view and when he started his sprint. He basically went from last to first in a little more than the homestretch.

She was probably betting on the jockey. That dude can race. Of course the horse has a history of closing. Will probably win the Belmont easily.

 

[252BAMA]

But not this easy.

Oh this will make you laugh, she knows NOTHING about horse racing, she liked the horse’s name “sounds like the horse enjoys music like me”

No Triple Crown winner this year. Good Tempo has withdrawn from the Preakness and will focus on the Belmont

Golden Tempo has salted away millions in stud fees for the owners. The risk of an injury in participating in the Belmont is significant, so they'll have a rested runner for the finale, and win or lose the horse will be a desired stud.

It's interesting how 18 of the 19 were direct descendents of Secretariat. BUT, the winners came from the broodmare side of his lineage. I came across this note:

For instance, Golden Tempo (who won the Derby) was out of a broodmare named Carrumba. Carrumba was sired by Bernardini, who was sired by A.P. Indy, who was sired by Seattle Slew. Seattle Slew was bred to the broodmare Weekend Surprise to produce A. P. Indy. Weekend Surprise was sired by Secretariat. So that is the connection from Secretariat to Golden Temp - on the dam side, and way back.

Sounds like the lineage of someone from auburn

Preakness is the shorter of the 3 races. Horse is a closer. Makes no sense to put it in the Preakness. They have got to be giddy about the Belmont, the longer of the three.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

No horse - that I can recall- was a better closer than Secretariat. From the rear in all three races to blowing away the competition. Without Secretariat, Sham might not be a sham.
