Wow just wow...
For those who haven't seen it yet, this guy won the German derby last night by 11 lengths... youtube that shi*t!!! :crazy:
As if the distance of the win wasn't scary enough, its the way he did it which is more amazing. Firstly he was caught wide from the jump and had to use a fair bit of petrol to get to the front, he then lead up the field at a pretty solid gallop throughout, then coming round the home bend he ducked out almost to the far post of the straight.
He must have lost at least 6 lengths as a result and the Jockey panics and shakes him up to get him on course and when he turns to look at where he is in comparison to the field (as he is about 20 odd metres away) he is about 6 lengths in front them. For the last furlong he pretty much stands up in the reigns where he continues to power away from the field, jockey turns a few times as if in disbelief of what has just happened.
By Sea the Stars out of a Monsun mare (sire of Fiorente) has had 4 starts to date winning a Grp 3 a pair of Grp 2's and now the Grp1 Derby
Aiming him at the Arc which his sire won so famously a few years back, massive call but this bloke may be even better. Clash with the Irish wondercolt 'Australia' is on the cards, should be a cracker!
