Louisvılle, Ky. – Bill Mott seemed to be sliding into the air as he entered the field in Churchill Downs on Saturday evening. Just a few minutes ago, the horse sovereignty won Kentucky Derby.
Jockey Junior Alvarado, Godolphin LLC racing manager Michael Banahan and Roses for the winner of the 151st run and the winner of the winning circle to reach the crowd of good wishes showed a smile.
Godolphin, a global race giant, celebrated his first Derby win after 26 years of attempt. It was the first win for Alvarado in Derby or any triple crown race and the second for Mott. However, he had a good reason to treat it like the first.
Six years ago, Kentucky Derby was Limbo for 22 minutes, reviewing the Seless race. Mott's Country House was second for maximum security, but the maximum security would be called the winner after it was accepted that it intervened in other horses. The 2019 decision is one of the most controversial results in the history of the America's largest horse race.
That night, the mott result described as “bitter sweet”. This time there was nothing painful about it.
“This is better,” he said to journalists on Saturday. “Then I said I wanted to finish it first, I wanted to pass the line first.”
There was no disagreement about Saturday's race, as Alvarado's sovereignty continued wisely. With an area of 19 horsemen, the derby can easily disappear as the horses join. This could have been leaning against Gold's pile, leaning against sovereignty in a step of the race. Alvarado and his horse were stuck between the pieces of gold and sandman.
Instead, the disaster was prevented because Alvarado withdrew the sovereignty. 16. They came from the door, they were away from the railway at the beginning of the race. They went there before the first round, but they were 16 miles later. In the 1/4 mile race, the three-quarter signs, the 17th rank-Frontrunner Citizen Bull's almost 10 length.
Journalism, a favorite of 3-1, was also back and with half a mile, the sovereignty was 2 1/2 long. Alvarado knew that he had to hold tabs in the winner of Santa Anita Derby to have a chance.
Alvarado, “Every move I made, that horse was there for me.” He said. “I probably have to say that I took six, seven or eight small movements, and every time it was there for me.”
Journalism and sovereignty were the third and fourth, Owen Yüce and Neoequos, just behind Neoequos. Both were expanding, and as they descended from the tension, they became preentunners by showing signs of sovereignty and withdrawal.
Repeating the race continued to take a look at the Mott screen with a cycle and even questions during the press conference after the race. The smile was still on his face.
“I can never get enough, you know, dedi he said with a laugh. “It's really great to watch. … Actually, I'm fascinated by the journey.”
71 -year -old Mott has been in the race business for decades. He won the prize for the superior instructor four times and won the prize in 1995, 1996, 2011 and two years ago. He was the youngest coach to enter the Racing Honor List in 1998 and for years he was the most successful coach of Churchill Downs.
Now the first experience of the race on a truck radio, listening to 1967 Derby'yi South Dakota native, now twice Derby winner.
“I never even imagined that I would be here,” he said. “I didn't even imagine in Churchill Downs.”
Your victory on Saturday was as big as Mott, as well as for Godolphin, but the beginning of the barn in the race belonged to the world outside the Mott, as was founded by Dubai ruler Sheikh Muhammad bin Rashid al Maktoum.
“Are we waiting to win such races?” Banahan said. “No, you don't. You just expect to have beautiful horses that you can give them the opportunity.
Banahan said that winning the big races has taken stable years. Godolphin did not demand the first EPSOM Derby in England until seven years ago.
“Winning these races requires a very good horse and we were lucky enough to show the real ability of sovereignty today.”
