Trainer says Kentucky Derby winner almost died in barn fire...
Following the biggest Kentucky Derby upset since 1913, winning trainer Eric Reed revealed that his horse, Rich Strike, almost died in a barn fire six years ago.

With 80-1 odds, Rich Strike beat favorites Epicenter and Zandon down the stretch to win Saturday’s first leg of the Triple Crown. Rich Strike entered the race Friday after a last-minute scratch by Ethereal Road.

“From the ashes we rose,” Reed told Fox & Friends Sunday, referencing a tragic barn fire that killed all but 13 horses, one of which was Rich Strike.

“We had a lightning strike. It took our barn out. We lost 23 of our children — horses,” Reed said. “It was a gut-wrenching time. Through God, all my friends, love from people I never met all around the country, they kept us going.”

Reed said taking care of Rich Strike, whom he also calls Richie, is the priority but did not deny that his eyes are set on the Triple Crown.

“Take care of Richie, and he will take care of the rest for us,” Reed said. “The triple crown is always what everybody wants. Right now, that’s what we’ll do, as long as it’s the right thing for him. We’re going to enjoy this. We’re going to enjoy it.”

Reed added that he did not get to see Rich Strike cross the finish line because he "collapsed."

“Oh my gosh! When he made the move and got to the inside, I grabbed my father,” Reed added. "I said, 'We might hit the board.' In the middle of the stretch, I knew he was going to win, and I had another friend of mine going, 'Oh, my God, oh, my God.' I collapsed. I didn’t even see him cross the finish line," he said.

That would be impossible as the horse is only 3 years old!

Nope. That date would make the horse still at least a 6 year old - too old for KD. Wonder if he meant the horse's mother?

No fire since the horse was born in late 2018 or 2019

That's impossible.

Derby horses are all three years old.
