Literally no one on tumblr.com gives a fuck but Rich Strike winning the Kentucky Derby with 80-1 odds (the second longest odds in the Derby’s 148 year history) has me absolutely thrilled. Like the horse wasn’t even supposed to be in the Derby!! He only got in because another horse, Ethereal Road, was scratched literally last minute! And he came out of arguably the worst gate on the track in 21st position… he was dead last at the start of the race but pulled through and passed every single other horse on that field and wasn’t even lathered at the end of it… that horse barely broke a sweat! I’m just saying I think I he could he have the Triple Crown if he can get into position fast enough in the Preakness (the 2nd and shortest race) because I think that’s where he may have issues… but whatever I’m excited
Eddie Kingston continues to see much more success as he is the first-ever modern day Triple Crown holder and winner of the AEW Continental Classic. He defeated Jon Moxley in the finals at Worlds End. | AEW World Ends - 12.30.23 - Long Island, NY
