Kentucky Derby Winners

2011 Kentucky Derby winner: Animal Kingdom

The first jewel in the Triple Crown, the Run for the Roses offers the largest purse - $2,000,000 - bringing out all of the best 3 year-olds up to the challenge.

Animal Kingdom, who had never raced on dirt before, reacted to his new rider the way a champion should, charging down the middle of the stretch to win by 2 3/4 lengths in front of a crowd of 164,858, the largest in Derby history.

2010 Kentucky Derby Winner

May 1st, 2010 will be a memorable date for Super Saver, Calvin Borel its jockey who has won the Derby three times (2007, 2009, 2010) and certainly to its trainer Todd Pletcher, who won his first Kentucky Derby after missing 24 entries. Last year he trained Bluegrasscat who finished second at the Kentucky Derby, Pletcher thought his dream of winning the Derby were shattered after Eskendereya was out of the list due to a swollen leg, but now Super Saver gave his trainer something to smile about; his other horses are Discreetly Mine(13th), Devil May Care(10th), Mission Impazible(9th).

Not even the rain that contributed in making the track very difficult could stop this jockey and his colt from winning ahead of Ice Box at the 1 1/4 mile track, with over 155, 804 spectators, and with the impressive time of 2:04:45 with a “margin of 2 1/2 lengths” and as the 8/1 favorite.

 



Super Saver returned $18 $8.80 and $6.00. The 4-2 Exacta paid $142, The 4-2-13 Trifecta paid $2223.

Big Brown, overcoming the far outside post, rolled to a five-length victory Saturday in the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. The three-year-old, unbeaten in four career starts, can now become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978.

Big Brown, the 2-1 favorite in the 20 horse field, becomes the first winner of the Run for the Roses to start from the 20-post since the starting gate has been used. It also is the third Kentucky Derby win for jockey Kent Desormeaux who previously captured the race in 1998 with Real Quiet and with Fusaichi Pegasus two years later.

However, tragedy struck the Kentucky Derby when second-place finisher Eight Belles, the lone filly in the race, broke down shortly after crossing the wire. The three-year-old suffered fractures to both of her front ankles and was



Big Brown returned $6.80, $5.00 and $4.80. Eight Belles paid $10.60 and 6.40, and Denis of Cork paid $11.60 to show.

Street Sense, the 9-2 favorite, rallied from 19th under jockey Calvin Borel to pass the
pacesetting Hard Spun in the stretch and draw away to a 2 ¼-length victory in the 133rd running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
