80-1

Rich Strike, the second longest shot in Derby history.

One thing that was really great - they had a drone up above the race so you could watch this horse come up through the pack in the last stretch. He was back at least 2/3 of the way and just turned it on. Very exciting race.

I really shouldn't, but I will.

Ever since we owned Gulliver, my thoughts on race horses has soured.

These horses are trained to do one thing - run as fast as you can, and if the horse next to you is going faster, you push more.

They are spooky, single-focused and frequently not well-treated.

And, sadly, if they're not profitable, they're basically disposable.

Interesting fact - the unlucky rider became a well known writer of fiction
