EPIC
HISTORICAL
UNBELIEVEABLE 
The adjectives could go on and on
and still not be able to sum up
exactly what happened last Saturday at the Kentucky Derby
The post has been going around and around on all
Social Media outlets:
I believe that God sent ‘this’ horse to run ‘this’ race to encourage us all to never give up…even if you think you can’t do it, even if people say you can’t do it and don’t believe in you!  Never freaking give up!

Wow, what an incredible race!!
Wow, what an incredible ride!!!

Rich Strike wins $1.86Million.
Entered the race yesterday 30 seconds before the deadline.  
Only got in the race because the 20th horse had to scratch yesterday.
Started from the worst post position on the outside of the track.
Had to make his way through the field of 19 other horses from the back.
His race career; 7 starts, one win.
His jockey, Sonny Leon, had never been to the Kentucky Derby.
His trainer, Eric Reed, has never raced a horse in the Kentucky Derby.
Eric Reed tragically lost nearly two dozen race horses in a barn fire a few years ago and struggled with quitting.
Eric Reed lost his two assistant trainers last year to cancer.
Rich Strike was purchased in a claiming race last fall for only $30,000.
80-1 odds.

This horse had no idea he was a long shot. He had no idea that he was entered last minute, because another horse scratched. He had no idea that his trainer and jockey had never won the Kentucky Derby. So he ran…and WON! He even had enough left after a mile and a quarter to give hell to the pony horse!  Congratulations to Rich Strike and all of his connections

Rich Strike wins the 148th Kentucky Derby!!

What an incredible success story!!!
Never give up on your dreams!!!
THE NUMBER ONE REASON WE FAIL:
OURSELVES.          .          .
