Less than 48 hours before the Derby, the #20 horse, Ethereal Road, scratched. This allowed #21 Rich Strike to enter the race. Rich Strike was not even supposed to be in the race. His odds of winning at the time the race started were 80-1. He wasn't on anyone's radar.

My greatest memory of my relationship with my mother was watching the Kentucky Derby with her every year. She took it seriously, dressing up in her Sunday best, even though we were just watching it on TV. And the greatest of these was watching Secretariat bring it home in 1973 when I was just eight years old. Both me and my mom nearly lost our voices we were screaming so loudly, much to the bewilderment of my younger siblings and asshole of a step-dad. We did the same thing for each leg of the triple crown that year. But even greater is my memory of the Belmont. We screamed during the first two thirds of the race, but during the last third we both fell silent, stunned at what Big Red was doing on the track. At the end of that race both me and my mom were crying. I have had very few passive moments in my life where my heart was beating that fast. My poor mother was shaking with excitement. Even my younger sister, who didn't understand what was happening, began to cry. It was an historic moment. I remember that my mom had three wishes: To visit the Colliseum in Rome, To ride with John Wayne, and to go to the Kentucky Derby. Unfortunately, none of those things happened for her. But my mother, for years afterward, talked about the races we watched together. I hope that wherever she is, she can ride in open fields and feel the wind on her face.
Thank you for sharing these memories. We met an older women yesterday at the derby who was there for the first time as a “bucket list” item. It was neat to see her able to enjoy the event. Best wishes to you.
char, do you still love your stepfather?
@@AgustinDeJesusTorres-v1z never loved him to begin with. He put me in the hospital twice from beatings, and molested both me and my sisters. But he was supposedly a devout Christian. In fact he was a malignant narcissist and sadist. He ruined our family and our childhood.
Great video, just bought my 150th derby tickets in section 111. This among dozens of other videos got me even more pumped❤❤❤❤❤
The Derby is not a race, the Derby is an event.
Thanks for taking out your time for the video!! Love it
The view would have been great, but the experience is priceless. Congrats on attending and being part of a historic race. Thanks for sharing.
I luv going! Have my ticket for the 2023 KD!
You gave a great description of all the festivities. You may want to attend the Indianapolis 500 next. You don't need a fancy hat at Indy.
WEll, you all were lucky to go on such a historic day!
So excited!! It’s my first (and possibly only) time!! Loved your video. Thanks so much!❤
Brings back great memories. We were there for the 2022 Kentucky Derby and watched Rich Strike win. In 10 days we are heading back for the 2023 Derby. Can't wait! You're right about being the live. You can't see the races as well as on tv, but the excitement is unmatched.
Wow this was really cool to see your experience and behind the scenes. I’ve only ever watched it on tv, this was so enjoyable to come along on your walk through.
Another Awesome job Josh! Keep them coming!
Thank you Robert! Always nice to see your comments, my friend.
Thank you for explaining and showing inside the stadium, and you are right when you see on TV its not comparable when you in the stadium. Thank you 👍👍
Great video! I am a horse racing lover, so really appreciate the fantastic work you did 👏👏👏
Great job here, fantastic presentation of the day,
I can confirm; a live horse race is well worth it. The energy is unmatched!
Great video! Loved the behind the scenes insights.
Thanks one of the best videos I have seen for the Derby
Thank you for documenting this
You did AMAZING job capturing the excitement of the Kentucky Derby 🐎 I’ve been to 14 DERBYS…and this is exactly how the vibe is on the first Saturday in May @ Churchill Downs 🏇
Thanks! We plan to go again this year. Maybe we’ll see you there!
@@JoshPostVlogs - We may have even walked past you last year as our seats are also located on the 3rd Floor Clubhouse 😉 We’ll keep an eye out for y’all l… #InstantCoffee 🏇
Awesome! Thank you for the tour. I’m going to schedule on going next year. 👍
You nailed it Sir! 🎉 thank you for great video!
Thanks for sharing this video 🎉 thank so Much 😁
my husband and I will be serving our food at this year's derby and this video was very helpful so we know what to expect!!
Very cool! You’ll be one of the food vendors inside? Expect long lines but people are generally in a great mood. It’s a fun day. I’m not sure if the all-inclusive food and drink is still the norm. Since I went two years ago, they built on and changed a lot at the track. Enjoy! 🏇
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful and informative!
THANK YOU!! THIS WAS AWESOME 🤸♂️👏🏻👏🏻🏄♀️⭐️😘🤗🎈🌈🦋🎶🎉😘🌈🌷
O wow injoyed this I hope i can go next year 150th its on my bucket lists it will be a miracle for me to attend so I am going to have faith this will happen for me once again thanks so much for capturing all you did
Awesome video!! Thanks so much!❤
Love this. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video! It was a great race.
Loved it. The all inclusive ticket is something Australian racing could look at.
This was great, thank you 🎉❤
Thank you for a great video, learned so much.
I never knew the Derby was all inclusive.🤔 Maybe I'll finally go to one. Interesting to see all the different areas and new concessions and how the facility has been improved. I was there in 1988 when I was young for the Breeders Cup and OMG we all came away with the same impression - what an absolute dump! Seriously, my grandfather said the men's room toilets were from the 1930's. I like the race footage from your location where you can see the move by Rich Strike to get around Messier just outside the eighth pole and see Sonny Leon riding like an absolute wild man in an all out drive. Nice work. Cheers.
Thanks. Yes, the all-inclusive thing is new I guess. Was a great race this year. Cheers!
Yes once in a lifetime experience you will take with you.
@@JoshPostVlogs hi ! Is GA as well all inclusive?
Is General admission all inclusive
Looks spectacular... memorable for someone's first time
Awesome video. Free cigars and drinks yes sir!
Thank you.
Thanks for the great experience. I only wish the video was longer.
Excelente video thanks sharing
Thank you ! This is on list of things to see . Questions, 1. Did you make bets? Did you win ? What do the rooms avg in price? How many days did you stay? I like your seats , how much were your tickets? How far in advance did you have to get them and where did you buy them ? Do they pressure you to tip for the food and drinks ? What was the weather like ? Did any hats blow on the track ? I'm black , so I was looking in the video for black folks attending which I saw 2 or 3.😊 Glad you had a great time .
Hi there. Thanks for the questions. I’ll try to answer. I made a few small bets and I didn’t win. I usually bet like $5, so not much. Obviously other people bet a lot more. We stayed Thursday to Sunday which is typical. Rooms aren’t too expensive. Around $200 per night and can vary depending on which hotel. The tickets are expensive. Around $1000 per ticket. This can also vary greatly. Less than $100 per ticket for the “infield” but I don’t recommend this because you can’t see the track and food and drink not included. I think you can get general tickets in the grandstands for around $500, a bit higher up and this would include the food and drink. The pricing should be on the derby website. You need to buy the tickets in advance before they sell out. Maybe 6 months out. They don’t really pressure you to give tips but like any bar it’s kind of expected to give a couple dollars per drink or food. The weather was great. Sunny 70. This obviously can change dramatically depending on the year. No, I didn’t see any hats fly onto the track. Regarding being black. I think you should definitely go. You’re right that there is not a lot of diversity, but it’s not like you’ll be treated badly. I saw more diversity in 2023 vs 2022, so it’s improving. I saw plenty of people of color and a everyone is welcome for sure and it would be great to see even more diversity there.
@@JoshPostVlogs thank you so much !!!!!
Interesting and informative.
With mention of cigars...how much are they? imagine not part of all inclusive? Great video!
Answered later in video...i should have waited...
Great job, thank you. Tell us about your new sailing adventures, are you still sailing?. Thank you and Gracias😉👍
Maybe You can attend Ascot next. Another chance to get a fancy hat made.
Amazing video
I was There. Very good video.
Hi, thanks for the video, i'm thinking go to the Derby, it will be My first time. Is it really the ticket Includes the food and drink? For example infield ticket.
Fancy Hat and glamour look adds excitement to this events.. 😍🤩 making it extra ordinary and fabulous. ❤ I love it....
May I ask what section you sat in? Thanks
Wait,so the food and drinks are for the GA tickets also??? 🤔
"No shit, Sherlock". Lol, loved that. People who haven't experienced live sporting events are missing out. I go to Final Fours, AFC title games, etc. Haven't been to the Kentucky Derby, but have always wanted to for the environment and atmosphere you described. How much would you say is a reserved seat for the derby, which includes the food and drink?
Was it a comfortable temperature that day?
Where can I take picture of the outfits without having to go in? Is there enough people at the main gate prior to entrance?
Yes. Everyone is walking around the main entrance. Some people even have like tailgate parties in the yards of houses near the entrance. There is a residential street. You could hang out there and take photos. Near this address. 1059 Queen Ave, Louisville, KY 40215
People filter in throughout the day. They don’t arrive all at once. If you go from around 10am to 3pm, you’ll see a lot of people filtering in.
@@JoshPostVlogs very helpful thank you for the info!
From Gloria Malcolm you should have more organizations come out to take pictures of the horses race.
Was the Cigar smoking due to it being an outdoor event or there was smoking everywhere ?
You can find pretzel anywhere. Spread your wings 😅😅
Not a huge fan of the derby, but I truly enjoyed your video
Great video. What hotel did you choose?
Thanks! We stayed at the Galt House.
@@JoshPostVlogs Where were your seats? Was it a good view? I want to go!!!
"The Kentucky Derby is decadent and depraved" H.S.Thompson
Great quote. Seems accurate. Haha. I like Hunter S. Thompson. I just read the Wikipedia page devoted to the article you quote. It gives a good summary and explanation.
Ive been to derby many times and Ive never seen all inclusive food and drinks.
Did you go the last couple of years? They changed it after Covid. I went again yesterday. Still all inclusive.
So Rich Strike was a dark horse who won the 2022 Kentucky Derby!
How much were the tickets?
Prettiest track I've ever seen is Arlington Ht's, IL.
I've had the same opinion about the live sports event, that watching on TV provided a much better experience. Then I went to that stadium in Amsterdam for European Football (real one) Championship mach between Turkey and Portugal. Tne moment I entered the stadium: WOW what an atmosphere!
You didn't capture the amount of private jets that was present
True. It’s pretty wild at airport with so many private jets.
Like!
The best article on the subject is " The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved" Hunter S. Thompson.
Four horsed died racing at Churchill Downs this week and just before the KD. Doping is a problem in the sport, horses are raced too young, and horse owners care more about winning at all costs than they do about their horses. Horse racing is dangerous for horses and should be banned.
Love to go be awesome
Kentucky Derby not only d horses🐎🐎🐎🐎 running...but d key signature is women's👒👒colorful hats gears up d occasion👠👠🎶📢♦♠🍷🍹Live Life Enjoy d Moment🥀
Amigo, el video estaba increíble, pero como lo arruinaste con la música al final de la carrera. Una pena.
Cada uno tiene sus preferencias, guey. Obviamente, mis preferencias y mi estilo son diferentes a los tuyos. En la variedad está el gusto.
Cancel all horse racing..its cruel!!
I think these horses live better than the normal non race horse, can somone confirm?
After the race all the fancy clothes are put back in the closet and then who cares about Racing.
Americans love English traditions
lol very misinformed, all tickets aren’t inclusive, only select premium tickets tickets include food and drinks
I don’t know how the peasants live. lol. Kidding. When I went 2 years ago this is how it was for 80% of attendees. I think only different for the infield people. Everyone in the stands got the all-inclusive. Since that time they’ve built many more sections at Churchill, so it may have changed in certain sections.
We hope Trump stays away from the Derby, we don't need him to ruin our day . Go to Russia.
LIGHT SHOW EXUCITIVE ORDERS phenomenal success.
BEST BEHAVIOR Wins again.
SpringTime at the earliest.
Thank you Kentucky Movie youtube.
