a little known horse with minimal credentials. A totally unknown jockey from Vancouver. Sire and dam who never hit it big.
From an up and coming stable in California but still not on the big name lists.
And then down the last quarter mile came I’ll Have Another, romping through the crowded track at Churchill Downs, gaily and almost without effort,
passing the much-heralded Bodemeister of Bob Baffert. Suddenly the roses were his and his alone. The horse stood there in the winner’s circle, shook his head a couple of times,
and I’ll Have Another dared one and all to look down their collective noses at him or Mario Gutierrez, his joyous jockey.
The 138th Derby was the stuff that horse racing stories are made of, since the favorite rarely wins, and the come-from-behind guy just smells those roses down
the track and heads straight for them. What a race, what a story, what a bright and sunny day at the Downs!!
SOURCE
ALSO BODY FOUND BEHIND STABLES!!!
On Saturday, I'll Have Another, ridden by jockey Mario Gutierrez, won the 138th running of the tradition-rich Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in a
stunning finish before a record crowd of more than 165,000 people.
About 200 people live at Churchill Downs at any given time — either in dormitories on the edge of the property or in small apartments above some of the barns themselves.
About a week after the Kentucky Derby last year, jockey Michael Baze's body was found in a vehicle near the stables at the famed Louisville track.
His death was ruled an accidental overdose.
