Longshot and final entry Rich Strike crossed the finish line first in the 148th Kentucky Derby, outracing favourite Epicenter and Zandon.
Jockey Sonny Leon guided Rich Strike from well back in the 20-horse field to run by 4-1 favourite Epicenter and Zandon on Saturday at Churchill Downs.
Rich Strike wasn’t even in the Derby field until Friday when Ethereal Road was scratched, making room for the colt trained by Eric Reed. Both Leon and Reed were in their first Derby.
More to come.
