A stunning late surge guarantees this year’s Derby will be talked about for decades.
Every so often in every sport, a lightning bolt strikes. Appalachian State knocking off Michigan in the Big House. Muhammad Ali stunning Sunny Liston. Duke shocking UNLV in the Final Four.
We had one of those moments on Saturday when Rich Strike, who wasn’t even in the Kentucky Derby field Friday, only getting in when another horse scratched, made a brilliant run down the stretch to catch and beat Epicenter and Zandon.
