Into the final stretch, the 80-1 longshot was nowhere to be found.
That may have been expected. But, the unexpected soon happened. Rich Strike, which made the Kentucky Derby on Friday after one horse dropped out of America’s most famous horse race, began his late charge through a crowded field.
From the 20th starting gate, Rich Strike would soon pass the favorite Epicenter and take the crown of the 148th Kentucky Derby.
On a $2 bet, Rich Strike paid $163.60 to win.
