1/2 2yo’s I’m looking most forward to this summer is ‘Chestnut Crude’ (Inside) 👀
From the same team that brought you Crude Velocity, they’re back with this super fast and talented son of #DrainTheClock ⏰
He’s very raw but a stone cold FREAK, who just wants to GO GO GO💨🔥
Im in the mood…
The mood for Crude!!🚀 🦍
When’s the last time we saw a 3 yr old lead every horse on Derby weekend which is a who’s who of the best older horses on the planet? AND he did it in his 3rd start off a big ship…. that is some Flightline type freaky stuff.

This race continues to grow in stature from Jackie's Warrior to Jack Christopher to Seize the Gray, now Crude Velocity—some pretty serious racehorses in recent times. Surely on the slate for a Grade 1 upgrade in 2027. @ChurchillDowns
Crude Velocity⚡️was indeed the most memorable winner all weekend🤩
Truly a remarkable performance from a generational horse, to look a freak like Englishman in the eye and put him away is unreal
On top of that he broke the stakes record! Absolute freak🦍
Is Crude Velocity your Preakness winner?
"This horse is a freaky horse. He is so talented. I was very surprised that he was able to win first out with all of the trouble he got in. If he stays healthy, we'll be hearing from this horse down the road." - Bob Baffert
"I told Bob (Baffert) it was the best 3-year-old in his barn. I wish we had more time to develop and I think he would have been in the Derby today." - Florent Geroux
The G2 Pat Mile lived up to the HYPE!
CRUDE VELOCITY dueled down the stretch under jockey @flothejock for Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert.
A new stakes record final time 1:33.87. ⏱️💨

14 points better than the Derby winner is wild 😱 Crazy he had a tough trip too and was running against a massive lead rail bias. Chasing the golden rail speed was difficult all day but Crude didn’t care. Transcendent talent. 💫
Funny you bring up Man O War when I always felt he was War Admiral’s clone (Man O War son). War Admiral also is 1 of the 4 large heart carriers & it appears Crude has a massive heart too. ❤️
Holy Crude!
130 TFUS for him vs a 116 for the Derby winner. What a freaky talent Crude is. What the heck will he run when he finally breaks and gets the lead? 😱
Best 3 year old on the planet right now hands down 🙌
@kimo16@santaanitapark@BobBaffert@flothejock Thanks for all the content you got on him, J-Mac! We told you he was special from day one 🥹
The Drain The Clock that @claydoeski CSLR has is another freak this coming year & obviously “The Chosen One” Zedan 🙏
Keep up the great work for us Horse Nerds out here 🙏
@alsilvo@doubles_2003 It’s pretty safe to say @claydoeski crude velocity is the best three year-old on planet Earth right now.
I’m just trying to enjoy the moment now after that heroic performance. I just love this colt so much. What a heart he has. War Admiral of the 21st Century
@Justify3107@claydoeski@omarramirezbl@AirdrieStud The Pat Day Mile > Derby this year 😤
The Derby has been decimated by defections like champion Ted Noffey, Paladin, Plutarch, etc. But the Pat Day has undefeated Crude vs undefeated Englishman. What else could one ask for? 👀
I seriously think calling this horse fast is an understatement 😂
It’s absolutely INSANE how quick he is and he only gets stronger late, he literally doesn’t get tired
Absolute freak of nature, I think he’s the biggest 🔒on Derby weekend and will be the most memorable winner 👀
