Last year saw the second biggest upset in Kentucky Derby history, so all eye will be on Churchill Downs on Saturday to see if the ponies pull off an even bigger surprise.
There has been shortage of drama at the Derby for the past few years. Before Rich Strike’s surprise victory in 2022, the race was marred by controversy in 2021 after winner Medina Spirit was disqualified after the horse tested positive for a banned medication. (Medina Spirit would die before the year was over.)
