Michael McCarthy just showed off the elastic display in front of him on Preakness’ bet just when he mentioned another on Saturday.
"We're going to rebuild," McCarthy told NBC in a TV interview with the Pimlico Racing course in Baltimore that his horse, journalism, won the 150th game of the midfielder of Triple Crown in a few minutes. “This is for Altadna.”
A journalism victory requires a comeback more than five times, an impossible run that requires slipping as two horses on either side enter back and then getting angry on leader Gosger until the last step. The route is unexpected and challenging - no different from the Southern California wildfires since January since McCarthy and his family have been displaced from their homes.
His wife and daughter left at 4:40 a.m. to board a hotel when the flames were reportedly crawling on the walls of McCarthy's Altadena home, according to Track and Field reported last month. McCarthy suffered smoke damage in Altadena's home, but eventually survived, known as the Eaton Fire, named after the nearby canyon, which originated from it and grew into a fire that would kill 18 people. But his neighbors were largely destroyed, and so were the cities he was raised.
McCarthy told NBC Sports last month that the rest of the Altadena is "Just Chimneys."
Together, Eaton and nearby Palisades fires were ignited in early January in the Pacific Palisades west of Los Angeles, and spread through extreme winds, destroying an estimated 16,000 buildings, affecting more than 30,000 people and losing more than $250 billion in economic losses.
On January 8, when the fire broke out, the 3-year-old journalism was behind a stall in a barn in Santa Anita Park in nearby Arcadia, “This is where they go when they know what is going,” McCarthy told NBC Sports Tim Layden. On the same day, the coach decided to move the news and other horses out of the barn and drive them away near San Diego.
Aron Wellman, co-owner of the press, told track and field last month that the fire broke out with “a lot of activity areas.”
"The weight of the world stayed on Michael's shoulder for a while," he said.
When journalism was brought back to Santa Anita four days later, his coach said the horse seemed unaffected by the damage that took place around him.
This is a prophecy of the immutability of horses won in Pimlico on Saturday.
Considered a favorite to win the stakes for the Kentucky Derby on May 3, journalism ranks second in a situation where sovereignty is not available. The Derby champion did not make it to Prekness due to a two-week turnaround. For the Derby champion, skipping Preakness was once rare, so the possibility of winning a triple-champion in a horse racing car, which ended with Belmont’s bet. However, this year marks the third time in the last four years Preakness Field does not include the Derby title. This trend has sparked debate about the Triple Crown, whether the Triple Crown (Triple Crown) separates three games in just two weeks.
There are only three horses in the Preakness field to compete in the Kentucky Derby.
"I think that's a lot to him," McCarthy said after the race. "These Level 3 crown competitions are not easy to participate, and you certainly need a vehicle, we'll carry it with you."
Journalism ranked sixth in the 13/16-mile track backwards in Saturday's Kowloon field, and seems to be back too far to enter the challenge of Homestretch in front of the Pimlico stands, about to be demolished. However, journalism showed why to win, a pre-match favorite, with 6-5 odds.
After the game, the "opposition logic" made a comeback.
"I just think this victory symbolizes life," Willman said. "Mike McCarthy needed this appeal to come here. It took courage (journey) Umberto Rispoli for his strength through a seemingly impossible loophole, grinding his teeth and stretching out the needle and tightening the screws and running through the courage. It brought his courage to his victory from an incredible horse."
