The 139th Kentucky Derby Replay

In case you missed the Run for the Roses on Saturday, I have the entire race for you below.

Orb won despite starting the race in the back of the pack. Now we’ll see if he can become the first horse since Affirmed in 1978 to win the Triple Crown. Larry Collmus had a fantastic call including gems like “Normandy Invasion is storming home!” and the tremendous “OOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRBBBBBBB!!!!!” Larry needs to work that in on every Triple Crown race from now on.

Here’s the race as it aired on NBC Sports.

The Preakness Stakes, the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown will be run on Saturday, May 18 at the Pimlico Raceway outside Baltimore, MD. That will also air on NBC.
