The 150th annual Kentucky Derby saw a new horse adorned with the prestigious Garland of Roses after a truly impressive run in the Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs on Saturday that came down to the wire.
Before the race, Fierceness was the favored horse to win, at 5-2 odds. Sierra Leone and Catching Freedom were also considered strong contenders. However, it was the underdog, Mystik Dan , who defied the 18-1 odds and emerged as the victor with a tome of 2:03.34, a result that surely left many spectators surprised.
The official top 5 are: Post 3. Mystik Dan, Post 2. Sierra Leone, Post 11. Forever Young, Post 4. Catching Freedom and Post. 10 T O Password.
With his impressive win, Mystik Dan now heads into the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, the next installments of the Triple Crown, as the heavy favorite.
