The least is the best. The last is the first: RICH STRIKE!!!

We love to watch the horses race in the Derby. This year, there was a long list of leaders whom we all followed and studied. Little did we know what would happen.

My mom made some fun cookies for the day:

At the time to race, they all approached the starting gate. 1-21. Twenty-one horses. The last horse to enter the race, 21, nobody even gave a look. He was 80-1! Impossible odds. In fact, the camera didn’t even have him in the screen most of the race because the announcer was focused on the five leaders. (We had to watch it over and over to see 21).

Right near the end of the race, a horse in red came through the middle right neck and neck with Epicenter (the favorite). He came from NOWHERE!

He was running his legs off! It was unbelievable!

And guess what? He pulled in FRONT right at the end and…….

HE won!!

It was the best race I have ever seen!

Lessons we can learn:

Rich Strike, you are an inspiration. Sonny Leon, the rider, gave all the credit to God.

Amen. We will commit to being the best WE can be and let’s go encourage others. You never know how you’ll impact the world.
