“Rich Strike has stunned the racing world!” NBC’s Mike Turico let out as the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby came to a close. Yes, that is correct, Rich Strike has just won the 2022 Kentucky Derby. Are you kidding me?
24-Hours ago the horse wasn’t even in the lineup for the Derby, but when a horse was dropped, Rich Strike loaded up and headed to Churchill Downs to race.
When the gate opened, Rich Strike was 80-1 to win the race. And now, he is the 2nd longest shot to ever win the Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports.
Congrats to Kentucky Derby winner, Rich Strike!
Tell Your Dog I Said Hi,
