#12 comes on strong at the last leg, then it looks one of it's front legs hits the hind leg of another horse and #12 stumbles, recovers, and pulls out the win by 2-3 lengths. I thought that horse was going down. Good race :thumbsup:

If he fell at that position both the jockey and the horse could have been killed by being trampled. Instead the horse kept his feet, the jockey stayed on and they somehow kept right on going with barely a missed stride. Absolutely amazing.

yeah i seen that.

it looked as if the horse in front cut him off to slow him down wich caused it to stumble. but the #12 horse just turned on the turbo and kicked but!

Amazing race. really great finish.

It was very impressive. Just keeping its balance was some feat, but to blow away the rest of the horses moments later was the icing on the cake.

He should have won the Derby man, another Philly horse who won't be able to get it done.. like all our damn pro teams.

nah, that horse (scrappy T) just flat came out of his line.

Both jockeys did a good job to avoid a catastrophe. Still amazing.
