LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A horse that barely got into the Kentucky Derby won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
Rich Strike, who went off at odds of 80-1, powered past race favorite Epicenter deep in the stretch to win the 148th running at Churchill Downs by three-fourths of a length.
Rich Strike was the second-longest shot in Derby history to win the race, behind only Donerail (91-1) in 1913.
