We met Orb at Claiborne Farm in March 2016. He was in Secretariat's old paddock. Beautiful horse. His 2013 Derby win is awesome. Heart, mud, and guts!
-
"OOOORRRRBBBBB! IS COMING WITH STRONG STRIDES AT THE CENTER OF THE TRACK!" Senior Quote goals.
-
I saw this race from my spot on the backside that I have occupied for the past 5 years - while the horses were circling in front of us for the post parade all of the other horses were fretting, prancing & nervous - Orb was calm, cool & collected and the look he gave me as he passed by was of pure confidence
-
ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRB is coming with giant strides.GOOSEBUMPS ON THAT.
-
This still stands as one of my favorite KDs. Without this race, especially Orb, I wouldn't be such a huge horse racing fanatic.
-
I got to see this race from the rail on the backstretch. To say that this experience was magical is an understatement. It was a lifetime opportunity and I will forever remember every second of it!
-
Unbelievable run by Orb, he was third from last position and came strong!
-
LOVED IT! What a horse! Was so wide, and was every bit the best horse in the race! Revolutionary and Golden Soul got ground saving tricks while Orb covered lots more ground and went way wide and still won by daylight!
-
We just visited Orb at Claiborne Farms and he is living the life of luxury.
-
Finally, trainer Claude R. "Shug" McCaughey III could win a Kentucky Derby! It was a deserved reward for more than thirty years of training labor. Greetings from Venezuela.
-
Great connections for a super horse...living a dream...congradulations even in 2021 it's exciting!!!
-
It was thrilling to watch Orb pass the finish line in person! the KY derby was the best time ever..even in the rain! Now I have to go EVERY year...now on to Baltimore!

I had Orb / Golden Soul in an Exacta Box on this race. The moves Golden Soul made on the stretch to get 2nd are crazy! Great memories watching it back. $50 exacta paid just shy of $50,000. My first day betting on horses to boot... needless to say it got me into the sport big time!
-
A hero with enough humility to create these moments and then quietly return to his stall not breathing a word about how great he is or was.....I have been wrong a hundred million times with horses but then one comes along which really could care less about all that....he steps into the moment simply because the time is seized by one of the Creators special creatures who we later realized had wings and the other 3 year olds were merely part of the cast of a 3 part supernatural event.....Orrrrb!

OOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRB!

I'm not sure what was better, Orb's great move in the middle of the racetrack after having a wide trip the entire race and swallowing the field or Larry Collmus' call of "ORRRRRRRRBBBBB"! at 2:20. Both give me gooosebumps.
-
"Normandy Invasion storms home" absolute chills. Not sure if Larry Collmus knew the significance of that statement or not but it remains one of my favorite calls. Remembering D-Day and all the heroes who laid down their lives. I cannot imagine the fear that took over the soldiers as they saw the beaches in the distance.
-
Orb was looking at the crowd while he was making his move down the homestretch like "where my haters at?!"
-
amazing finish I will root for orb all the way in the next race and hope orb takes the triple.Btw thanks for uploading this as I was busy today and missed it on tv
