That is Animal Kingdom, who just won today's KY Derby, running back in March in a stake race. It's like something out of a movie. He passes on the inside (!) to start a monster 6 furlong run splitting horses, going wide on the far turn and dueling in the stretch. That's as good as it gets.

a consistent jockey who came back from so many injuries.
