Had to share this tweet from ESPN’s Ryan McGee


North, East, West, South?
All in the same house
Pirates in the House!

Properly embedded…

Someone won $74,000 on a $5 trifecta bet on that race.

That's a happy camper, LOL.

Good stuff. Growing up we rode horses all the time. We had five. Amazing job by that jockey. Those horses are very spirited. To navigate traffic in a race of that magnitude was precision. Once you take that rail it limits options and direction in traffic. Great race!!

When I first watched the clip I was amazed to see where they were coming from before the winning move (really a series of moves).

I’ve never raced horses but I used to race bicycles, and it’s the same thing, there’s only so much traffic you can get thru before the line.

Impressive horse and riding. Thanks for posting.

Fine this is the first time I’ve had a snarky post hijacked to talk about actual sports but I’ll tweak the tread title in case we got more horse race fans on board

I don't really follow horse racing, but very impressive. Looks like he went from 17th to first. I have done some trail riding as a younger guy. My wife really got tired of my injuries and broken bones.
