Dominus - 2012 Bernard Baruch (G2) [01:57]
Making his first start on turf, Dominus led every step under a measured ride from Julien Leparoux and rolled to a 1 ¼-length victory over even-money favorite Data Link in Saturday's Grade 2, $250000 Bernard Baruch Handicap at Saratoga Race Course. The 4-year-old Smart Strike ridgling, who got an eight-pound break in the weights from the favorite, went to the lead a few strides out of the gate and galloped through unpressured fractions of 24.29, 48.63 and 1:12.26 over the firm turf. Accelerating as he came out of the far turn, Dominus quickly opened up on his five rivals and was never seriously threatened by Data Link's late run. "He was the only speed in the race, he just galloped easy, broke easy, and it was pretty easy for him," said Leparoux. "It was very nice for me at the end. He's a nice horse. First time on the grass, he was relaxed." Dominus's winning time for the 1 1/16 miles was 1:40.32.

Hansen and other Derby horses on the turn before Kentucky Derby 5/5/2012 [01:57]
Hansen fidgets and is a handful for jockey Ramon Dominguez; the rest of the field passes him on the second turn during their warmups for the Kentucky Derby (5/5/2012, Churchill Downs, Louisville, KY). Some of the other horses/jockeys in this film are Union Rags (Julien Leparoux), Bodemeister (Mike Smith), Dullahan (Kent Desormeaux), Take Charge Indy (Calvin Borel), Went the Day Well (John Velazquez), and others. This video was shot from the Churchill track kitchen window, therefore not that clear. The voices are people in there watching the race. A nice vantage point, and air conditioned, too.
