Thoroughbred Horse Rich Strike is 4!

 Happy Birthday!  Rich Strike won the 2022 Kentucky Derby with an 80-1 odds of winning. He was foaled 4 years ago on April 25, 2019, at Calumet Farm, KY

Below is a short video of the story of Rich Strike's historic win in the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby.  "Ritchie"  remains interesting whether he ever wins again, or not.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. ( 1 Cor 15)

I'll Have Another: (funny) philosophical quote

I’ll Have Another, the horse,  won first-place in the Kentucky Derby, and the Preakness; but cannot run in the Belmont Stakes because of an injury. No Triple Crown this year. Here was Patrick Morley’s status update after the Derby race: 

In case you missed it: owner of Kentucky Derby winner a former philosophy professor at USC.

When Costas asked him for a philosophical comment in winner's circle he quipped, "Ludwig Wittgenstein said, ' When all philosophical problems have been solved, nothing of any real importance will have been accomplished,' so we went into horse racing."

Gotta love it....
