At least we all got the second-place horse. 🐴
And no weird happenings in this race. Sir Winston cut off War of Will at one point, but since both horses are owned by the same guy, he wasn't complaining.

Both horses were trained by the same guy. It's the first time a trainer looked so disappointed when his horse won. War of Wills would have been worth a lot more $$$$ if he could have won two Triple Crown races. Oh well, at least no one fell off or was disqualified.

Oh, trained, not owned.
So that's why he didn't look all that excited, because it would have been better if the other horse won.
But yep, every human and horse survived, and that's good!
