A Derby for the ages

[Hxcmilkshake]

Usually don't see that hot a pace in a big race like that.

Sometimes a longshot wins because the field was overrated but this was purely due to pace.

Epicenter really fought well and will be the favorite in the Preakness if he goes and will probably be a decent value as favorites go.

Rich Strike will be 3-1 or higher assuming 10+ horse field and who else goes.

If you have access to The Athletic the sub-lede on this page is an interview with the woman who was NBC's lead producer of the Derby coverage. Great insight into what was going on behind the cameras and mikes for that race.

I can understand the announcer focusing on the front of the race, but man, once Rich Strike blew by Messier like he was standing still it should have been obvious something was going on. Even in the final seconds as he was running down the two leaders the guy didn't seem to know he was there.
