Notes From the 125th Kentucky Derby
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- It just doesn't pay to be the favorite in the Kentucky Derby.
For the 20th straight year, the betting favorite failed to bring home the bacon. Spectacular Bid was the last betting favorite to win.
This year, there were two chances for the favorite to win and both failed. The Bob Baffert entry of Excellent Meeting and General Challenge left the gate as 9-2 favorite. They finished fifth and 11th, respectively.
The winner, Charismatic, wasn't the longest shot in the field, but close. He went off 30-1 and won with the third-longest odds of any winner in the 125 Derbys.
