Did you know!?!

🏆 Rich Strike wins $1.86Million.
🏆 Entered the race Saturday 30 seconds before the deadline.
🏆 Only got in the race because the 20th horse had to scratch.
🏆 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.

You’ll never win if you never try! And just because others doubt you or what you’re dreaming of - it doesn’t mean your dreams aren’t worth going after!
