1995 Florida Derby Day & Jerry Bailey's Record Setting 7 Wins [23:38]
Jerry Bailey rode seven winners today at Gulfstream Park but missed the big one by a nose when Suave Prospect lost a photo finish to Thunder Gulch and Mike Smith in the 44th Florida Derby. In a driving duel between the two top horses and jockeys at the track, Thunder Gulch made it two straight in the "Florida triple" series. Only three weeks ago he had been flown from California by D. Wayne Lukas and won the Fountain of Youth Stakes by a neck over Suave Prospect, who is trained by Nick Zito. And the two colts now seem locked in a rivalry that may continue until the Kentucky Derby on May 6, when they will be joined by a delegation from the West. "Right now, Thunder Gulch is king of the hill in the East," Lukas said. "Our horse was game, his horse was game. Both horses took large steps forward. They're like Affirmed and Alydar. But we've got their horse's number. We'll break his heart eventually." To which Zito responded, "There's always Kentucky." But even though he lost the main event by a nose, no rider ever had a better afternoon at Gulfstream Park than Bailey, and few anywhere else. The 37-year-old Texan rode 10 horses and made the winner's circle seven times. Along the way, he broke the track record of six victories set in six races in 1953 by Charlie Burr, and also tied the stakes record of four set in 1988 by Randy Romero, also on Florida Derby day. But he couldn't quite reach the national record of eight, set by seven jockeys, most recently by Pat Day at Arlington ...

Ready...Set...GO!!! Five-way field race [00:32]
From left to right, the contestants are: Connie on Jazz (chestnut Florida Cracker gelding), Daniel on Achilles (chestnut Andalusian/QH gelding), Tyler on Gus (dun QH gelding), Kerry on Jessie (brown/white paint mare), Mary((me)) on Pascal (bay QH gelding). Obviously, Connie won this one, and the rest of us were just in this big pack. The next race video is better because we set up horse/rider finish line poles. (Sam on Tazer and Kevin on McCager, Kevin is also our wonderful film-maker here and we thank him very much for taking these videos.) (Lol I just noticed that in the middle of the race, Tyler lost his orange hat.)
