A brilliant performance by Mage at the Kentucky Derby ended a disturbing and chaotic week at Churchill Downs on a high note. Two Phil's finished in the place position, with Angel of Empire showing for third.
Early in the race, Reincarnate and Jace’s Road streaked out to the lead, with Kingsbarns and Verifying pushing through after a rapid quarter mile. On the home stretch, Two Phil’s briefly took the lead. Mage surged its way to a closing victory with a strong run from the outside.
Mage went off at 16-1 odds to win.
