Mystik Dan Wins in a Dramatic Photo Finish at 150th Kentucky Derby
Mystik Dan has won the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby in a dramatic photo finish at Churchill Downs on Saturday in Louisville.
Photo finishes are rare at the Derby
Entering the race at 18-1 odds, Mystik Dan edged out Sierra Leone and Forever Young in a dramatic three-horse photo finish to capture the first leg of the Triple Crown. Sierra Leone finished in second place, while Forever Young finished in third place.
It was the 10th time in the race’s history a horse has won by a nose and the first since Grindstone in 1996, according to the NBC broadcast.
“This is unbelievable. That was longest few minutes I’ve ever felt in my life waiting for them to hang that number above us,” said jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. after the race.
“It was exciting when we hit the wire but I wasn’t sure if we won so it was quite a rush to sit here and wait for it.”
The victory is the first for Hernandez Jr. and trainer Kenny McPeek at the Kentucky Derby.
I took a boatload of pics of Her Majesty, Queen Z. These are 3 of my favorites. She's still so commanding, even all these years of being off the track. I will absolutely adore her until the end of my days. She's breathtaking.
