It's alliterative.
I'm gonna start posting about Derby now that the college basketball season has officially ended for the year, and hopefully it has ended forever for one salty old Texas grit.
Anywho, I just watched the Louisiana Derby, and Friesan Fire looked beyond impressive.
A few things to watch in this clip:
a. The jockey, Gabriel Saez, doesn't even need to hit the horse. He is pulling away with authority all on his own.
b. He is running in about as straight a line as possible, which is rare for horses his age. Normally, you see the jockey steady him up towards the wire, and a lot of times they have trouble changing leads, but not this guy.
c. This was on a sloppy/fast track, so if Derby Day gets a little wet, look out. (that's what she said)
d. Saez is flat STOKED as he crosses the finish line!
Sadly, Gene, Bejerano had to settle for a photo for second.
