Virtually Ride Derby Winner Orb From Jockey's Perspective

Ever wonder what it's like to win the Kentucky Derby? This new video produced by the digital sports info company Trakus gives us a little taste.

The clip was published to the Kentucky Derby's official YouTube channel on Monday and provides a very cool way to experience what many consider the most exciting two minutes in sports. It's pretty cutting edge -- that is, until jockeys become outfitted with Google Glass one day.
