It is now a well-known fact: Authentic is the absolute winner of the 146th edition of the famed Kentucky Derby race. Saturday afternoon saw some of the finest horses in the racing circuit compete for the most coveted jewel of the Triple Crown series of thoroughbred challenges, resulting in a victory which neither shocked nor surprised racing experts.
Race-favorite Tiz the Law came too close to victory. His win had been foretold by most racing pundits on the web after his Belmont Stakes success, however, the predictions were not to be, as Tiz the Law failed to give his last usual burst to overcome Authentic’s advantage, which resulted in a final difference of 1 ¼ lengths between to first two places. Mr. Big News finished third, and Honor A.P. managed to overcome a poor start to make a very decent 4th place.
A Different Type of Derby
Bob Baffert’s joy over his sixth Derby win was clear; the famous trainer achieved something no other had before him, but part of the eve’s excitement had been eaten away by the empty sight of the Churchill Hill grandstands, which would normally showcase the highest fashion efforts and the oddest choices in headwear by stylish ladies, plus the sheer energy behind America’s biggest yearly race. The KD’s official post time was 7 pm ET.
