The Kentucky Derby is one of the most famous horse races in the United States. Three year old thoroughbreds run against each other usually the first Saturday of May art Louisville, Kentucky during the Kentucky Derby Festival that takes place during two weeks in a row.

The race takes place in a track of one and quart mile at the Churchill Downs horse track.The race is also well known as the “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports” for obvious reasons and also is well known worldwide as the “The Run for the Roses” because of the rose garland that the organization gives to the winner horse.

This year, on its 135th version of the Kentucky Derby, we had the most unexpected results.

The less favorite horse won amazingly showing a huge rush of power and strength in the last 30 seconds of the race winning by almost 6 lengths from the second place. The winner horse was the #8 “Mind That Bird” followed by the horse #16 “Pioneer of the Nile” and the #2 “Musket Man”.

Definitely one of the most surprising results ever in the history of this thoroughbred racing event.
