Kentucky Derby 2018 Results



Favorite Justify, ridden by 52-year-old Mike Smith, has won the 144th Kentucky Derby, winning easily in the slop.  He is now 4 for 4.

It is the fifth Derby victory for trainer Bob Baffert.  It has been  136 years since a horse has won the Kentucky Derby without having raced at two years of age.

Second was Good Magic, and third was Audible.  The time was 2:04.20.

Justify is sired by Scat Daddy, out of the Ghostzapper mare Stage Magic.  You have to go back several generations to find A.P. Indy in the pedigree, which means that Justify is a descendant of Secretariat (through Weekend Surprise) although there are thousands upon thousands of thoroughbreds today who have him in the pedigree.

The race (a better video will be uploaded later):
