That horse exploded coming down the stretch. Unreal.

The post race interview is full of unintentional comedy.

9500 bucks? Wow, that is nothing as far as horses go.

Pretty amazing.

The Derby in HD is amazing.

And you'll never ever see that again. From last to first in a flash! The Aerial views at the end are breathless.

Actually, the horse was bought in 2007 at a Yearling sale for $9,500. The colt raced at Woodbine in Toronto, won 4 of 6 starts, and the current owners (Double Eagle Ranch and Buena Suerte Equine) bought the horse for $400,000.
