Former MLB Champion Reacts Wonderfully After His Horse Wins Race

Former MLB World Series champion Jayson Werth is having a great few months on the track.

Werth co-owns Dornoch, a 3-year-old horse who won the Belmont Stakes in early June. The colt was back Saturday when he won the Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, New Jersey.

America’s Best Racing turned a camera on Werth and showed how the former All-Star reacted to Dornoch’s win.

The win means Dornoch has now qualified for the Breeders’ Cup in Del Mar, California.

“Breeders’ Cup, baby. We’re coming,” Werth said afterward. “Let’s go!”

This was Dornoch’s fifth career win and it’s safe to say the thrill of victory hasn’t worn off for Werth, who was also part of the team that reached the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies World Series.
