re: Kentucky Derby 2024 - Mystik Dan wins in a photo finish

How that Jockey got #3 through on the rail was amazing. I saw him coming up and said no way that jockey gets him through. Well, he did. That was one hell of a ride. The horse is amazing, of course, but it took some serious guts to put that horse ahead on the rail.

Those jockeys amaze me. They weigh not more than 105 lbs soaking wet, but can navigate through a tight field of 1200 lb horses racing at over 40 mph while balancing on their toes. While their supper was lettuce and boiled chicken breast.
