It doesn't generally work out like a Hollywood film

history channel documentary 2015 It doesn't generally work out like a Hollywood film. In 1988 there ought to have been a Triple Crown champ and his name was Risen Star. In the Kentucky Derby that year, under racer Eddie Delahoussaye, Risen Star was compelled to the outside on the backstretch where he stayed until making a charge at the leader of the stretch. Tragically, he was past the point where it is possible to make up all the lost ground to the consequent victor (the filly Winning Colors) and completed third. After two weeks in the Preakness Stakes Risen Star won in the quickest race since his daddy Secretariat's 1973 record time. After three weeks, he flaunted his qualities, pulling far from the field and winning by an astonishing 15 lengths in the longest of the Triple Crown races, the difficult 1½ mile Belmont Stakes.Was it Delahoussaye's ride that was at issue or would it say it was the movement made by the other 16 steeds in the race? We here in New Orleans are suspicious of the part of Risen Star's mentor (and one-time Fair Grounds proprietor) Louis J. Roussel III. Roussel has dependably been somewhat of an agitator and it was emphatically reputed he gave Delahoussaye strict directions to control Risen Star ahead of schedule no matter what (inspired by a paranoid fear of wearing out pursuing the filly Winning Colors). To my young eyes, it looked as though Risen Star was much the best steed in the Kentucky Derby and he just came up short on ground. We'll never comprehend what truly happened, yet there's one thing you can rely on. A racer can lose the Derby in a split second. Simply ask Eddie Delahoussaye.
