RODGER’S QUICK TAKE

Saturday was a perfect example of how the Kentucky Derby can be so much fun and frustrating, all at the same time. In a 20-horse field, anything is possible, but when Rich Strike hit the finish line first, it was still a stunner. I personally did not have the 80-1 long shot on any of my tickets, and it’s safe to say the true horse player did not either. But, it’s also why Derby day is so exciting, because anything is possible no matter how much you follow the game. Congrats to those who actually cashed a ticket with Rich Strike. Onto the Preakness.
