Of course, sometimes things happen when you're just trying to shoot scenics. Like @zayas_edgardo (reportedly OK) being launched into the stratosphere. His mount, Glint, was caught fairly quickly and was also fine.

@TheGodofSod Yeah because so many regulars don’t go anymore and I don’t blame em…admission food/drinks shit you’d be down 50 before you bet a horse

As we go through the final weeks of TVG/FanDuel TV's on-track production (with some exceptions), my sympathies are for so many of the on-air and behind the scenes employees who will lose their jobs.
Looking back over the 27 years TVG/FanDuel has been on the air, there are so many talented hosts/analysts/handicappers that almost seem like family to me, because they've been in my living room, office and kitchen at all hours of the day and night. It's going to be very sad and weird when their voices are silenced and FanDuel TV is no longer an option to watch the races.
We have options today to watch races and get results that we didn't have 50 years ago when I became a fan, but it's going to be a major adjustment for me (and I suspect others) as FanDuel TV soon reduces production work and eventually disappears.
An example from today of their good work was the @JoaquinJaime_ interview at Santa Anita with jockey agent @MATT_NAK - which provided some insights into how Nakatani is handling @flothejock's business between California and Kentucky. He also gave an update on @umbyrispoli and his rehabilitation from a serious injury sustained in January. Joaquin started out after college as a researcher at TVG and has advanced to be an exceptional on-air reporter. I hope his talents find a home in horse racing.
He's just one of many men and women at TVG/
FanDuel who have fed our hunger for horse racing information and entertainment since 1999. FanDuel TV's departure is going to leave a massive void in a declining industry that already was facing substantial challenges.
Thoroughbred racing's structure (or lack thereof) makes it difficult to mount a meaningful reaction to the impending death of FanDuel TV. It took significant outside investment to make TVG happen, and I don't see anyone stepping up with the capital needed for a successor.

I’m sure there are Derby’s I don’t remember but
I can’t recall a Derby where I thought 4 different horses were the winners inside the qtr pole
-Dannon accelerated (was best)
-Ocelli charged (awesome run for md)
-Renegade looked home (I needed for a big score so I should be biased but the brush early didn’t matter GT passed him on the square) but with his avg stride length a smaller field will be better for
-GT won

@GiddyUpBets 2026 Kentucky Derby. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a horse pass 17 other horses in the final quarter mile.

#ThrowbackThursday to June 9, 2007... when RAGS TO RICHES battled with Curlin down the stretch to become just the third filly in history and first since 1905 to win the G1 @BelmontStakes for trainer Todd Pletcher with @ljlmvel aboard!
Rest in Peace, Rags to Riches
