Kentucky Derby Results
Justify broke a 136-year-old curse, by catching up to and then overpassing a handful of leaders down the stretch to win the 144th Kentucky Derby. The horse became the first since Apollo in 1882 to win as a three-year-old without racing as a two-year-old “When he got away clean, I thought we had a chance,” legendary trainer Bob Baffert said after the race. “He was doing it easy. Him, American Pharoah, these are great horses and it took a great horse to win today. I rank him Justify up there with my top ones. This track had me worried, but wow, he just had a run.” Good Magic finished second and Audible finished third, both 2½ lengths behind.Preakness Results
