Justify is a Boss! Best Ever?

in horse •  6 years ago  (edited)

Justify won the Belmont Stakes today making him only the 13th Tripple Crown Winner in racing history. Man, what a race! Most times in history the horse who won the Preakness & Kentucky Derby just didn’t have enough gas left in the tank for the long endurance race like the Belmont. Justify won easy by 1 3/4 length to complete an accomplishment so rare amongst race horses, it was fun to watch live because you may never see it happen again.

Can you believe the cost of these animals and the all-in investment it takes once your purchase them? Justify was bought for 500K but, the vet bills, training and facilities, food along with travel expenses has to be absolutely massive. His total winnings are now just shy of 4M which in not a crazy amount of money considering the risk/reward investment you must make. Don’t feel sorry for the horse owners though.....the show fees, breeding and other endorsements make the 4M total race earnings look like chump change.

It’s the sport of Kings but in reality these animals get treated like kings and they are born to run like the wind. Every step of a prized race horses life is completely calculated and every precaution of safety and handeling one of these elite athletes is well thought out in advance. There is no room for error in the racing business....no matter what your racing! Owner Bob Baffert is a horse breeder, trainer and racing legend. His last prize horse American Pharoah also won the Tripple Crown of racing but, I imagine as in football or any sport, the last victory is the sweetest.

Looking into this horses eyes you can just see the fire and confidence he knows he has to win. Horses like this one don’t come around very often but when they do, they are never forgotten. His racing days are over and from here forward he will live a life of luxury that most living animals will never know. Congratulations Justify and Bob Baffert on a very tough accomplishment at any level of sport!

He is BOSS brother!! They field really didn't stand a chance - around the 3rd or 4th turn I thought maybe the 9 horse might be able to get in front of him but it definitely was a SMOKESHOW!!
Much Respect to the 51-52 year old jockey aye? He deserves it more than anyone probably - besides JUSTIFY

Congrats. Horse riding is a gentleman game. Horse riding game need practice more and more.. its not only depend on the cost of horse. Beacause the game is won by the rider not by the horse. And congratulation to the victory...

Congrats.
Every single race need i lot of practice.
And its not important to buy 500k horse or anything else. The moment of winning is cost less.
And the proud when you stand on that victory stand. Ohhh awesome. I will sacrifice everything for that victory stand.

Your right it is a serious money industry. Less about hobby and more about returns and passion.

congratulation justify for wining the race and also tnx the man who ride on him.it was a risk to invest so much money,time and main fact the faith on justify.justify shows his worth. really his eyes shows the fire and confidence and worthy.
tnx man for sharing.....

Hi @broncnutz Wonderful and interesting your post.

Racehorses live in the equivalent of five-star hotel accommodation. They are well fed, rugged up and receive top class care and attention. Daily life on a racing yard usually revolves around a fairly strict routine beginning at first light and ending after dark.

In most racing yards, horses will be looked after by the same lad or lass so that they can get to know them and any habits or idiosyncrasies that they might have.

I think that, training winners is the name of the game but not all horses can be as good as others. For most racehorse owners, to win a race with their horse is a dream come true.

Have a good night
A hug

a very good horse to race in the arena and the color is very beautiful and I really like this horse
@broncnutz dear.

Great horse (of course) but not close to the greatest. Horse racing is weak right now overall. There's much less competition at the highest level for the Triple Crown races than 20-30 years ago. With that said, I still love seeing Justify doing his thing. He's an amazing looking animal

If I've learned whatever over time, it's that horses do take heed to you. They won't have a clue what you're pronouncing, but they be aware of the tone in which you say it. I'm going to sing to horses so hooked on their own nerves they're ready to climb into the sky, and generally it can be probably the most only matters that preserve them on the ground.

It is always so exciting to see history being made. So many horses get the first two and notnthe last. It truly is a difficult feat. Can you imagine how much other wonders are going to pay for those horses sperm now? It is crazy how much owners will pay of stud fees and if they are wanting to have Justify be a baby daddy then being a triple crown winner is gonna make that a hefty price.

Congratulations to Justify and Bob Baffert. A horse like this must be treated like king for the rest of his life

We all know that horse racing is one of the oldest sports and we can call it one of the elite sport, and when the race starts the craze always go to the next level because that much pressure all have whoever invested in Horse Racing and this sport is very famous but nowadays in my opinion people losing the enthusiasm in this sports and i hope and wish that once again this sport will get same recognition and people should encourage this sport because this is one of the amazing and oldest sport and in my opinion maintaining all the needs of sport horses is really big investment and many are doing that effectively to produce great running horses.

Thanks for sharing this post with us and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

Horses are perfect example regarding confidence ,speed and endurance .
Nice job ,it was a good and quality oriented article.👍

Beautiful horse friend God bless you, Horse riding is a game of knights. @broncnutz

I love horse riding very much. These one is really cool.Such an interesting post, thanks for sharing.

May have known this but the term upset came from horse racing as that horse stopped possibly the best horse ever from winning the triple crown. I believe that is right. Go check the stats. Don't trust AND VERIFY.

I like this racing very much but my country this game is not popular

There is joy in horse riding. This is a race enjoy.

Congarts man for this victory. The activities on offer include horseback riding and mountain biking. I like horse game to much.

una buena sensacion dejan estos grandes animales los caballos el mundo de la apuesta difruta cuando corre una gran bestia ejemplar como estos caballos... Saludos desde venezuela @broncnutz

If it really requires a large investment for the care of these animals, since it demands a lot in the races.
