In his fifth career start, Animal Kingdom won the 137th running of the Kentucky Derby. His time was 2:02.04, way off Secretariat's 1973 record.
He had a six-week layoff before running today's race, the first Derby winner to do so since Needles in 1956.
Nehro was second, and Mucho Macho Man was third.
Archarcharch's saddle slipped during the race and he pulled up lame after he crossed the finish line. He went into the ambulance and appeared to be in no distress. He is being examined off the track to determine what the trouble is.
