Russell Baze has ridden more than 12.000 winners through his enduring career. No one has ridden more. The now 55 year old is the most winning jockey in North America with the highest strike rate! So if this man talks you through a race, you better listen carefully. For the New York Times he reconstructed one of his races, explaining what he's doing in the starting stalls, what he's looking out for during the race, and what are the key factors in the closing stages. That all wrapped up in breathtaking footage makes the following video so insightful and beautiful in the same.
