Always fun to see a horse come from behind, especially when the jockey is a long-shot youngster. For most of this clip, I'll Have Another is way back in the middle. It's only in the last 300 yards or so that he explodes. The announcers said as a yearling colt he could have been had for $11,000.
It's always nice to see a pleasant surprise (especially for the lucky owner!).
ReplyDeleteMight not have been such a pleasant surprise for the favorite!
ReplyDeleteAn exciting race, to be sure, and I always like to see a realtively long-shot competitor pull one out.
