Late entry stunner: Rich Strike triumphs as 80-1 longshot

Rich Strike, an 80-1 longshot, won the Kentucky Derby. It was the second-biggest upset in the Derby's 148-year history. Epicenter finished second, while Zandon finished third. Jockey Sonny Leon and trainer Kenny McPeek's horses finished eighth and ninth. i in their first Derby, both Leon, from Venezuela, and Reed were in. They had lost nearly two dozen horses in a barn fire at their training center five years ago. The fire might have been a signal for Leon to leave the sport. He had previously won two races.
