Rich Strike, the long shot who entered the field at the last moment the day before, has won the 148th Kentucky Derby in a stunning upset. KentuckyDerby
As the early speed faded, Messier had first run at the lead before Epicenter swept by and seemed poised to give trainer Steve Asmussen his first Derby victory.
Zandon joined the battle in the final furlong before Rich Strike — a la 50-1 shot Mine That Bird in 2009 — charged along the rail for the victory. A son of Keen Ice out of the Smart Strike mare Gold Strike, Rich Strike was bred at Calumet Farm. After finishing 10th in his first race in August at Ellis Park, he was claimed for $30,000.
He broke his maiden in September at Churchill and then raced five times without ever finishing in the top two. He finished 5¾ lengths behind Tiz the Bomb in the Jeff Ruby Steaks, earning the 20 points he needed to qualify for the Kentucky Derby. Now the chestnut colt will go down in history after earning the winner’s share of $1.86 million for owner Richard Dawson of RED TR-Racing.Jason Frakes: 502-582-4046; [email protected]; Twitter:
