This is an important clip of the Kentucky Derby filmed by NBC Sports. Unlike the original clip, seen from the perspective of the audience, this clip is seen from above. It labels the winner, Rich Strike, and shows his dramatic acceleration as he passes the leading horses.
The dramatic win of the horse that was admitted into the race on the last day, whose odds were 80-1, is a real-life fairy tale, the stuff that dreams are made of.

I can’t stop watching it, either.
The lesson one could learn is that every person (student) has the capacity if they are given a chance.

Horse racing actually is pretty brutal. I enjoy the fun of betting on them, but I have to push some uncomfortable things out of my mind it do so.

Many people are concerned about the whipping of the horses. Questions arise such as are the horses being beaten with a whip just to win a race? Does the whip hurt the horses?
Also, reports are now coming in that the winner of the kentucky derby rich strike was not drug tested because the horse was a late edition to the race and was not considered to have any chance at winning the race so they just let him into the race with no testing.

Seems certain that officials tested the horse after the race. Or likely. Lots of interested parties.
