A PHOTO FINISH!!!!!
Mystik Dan and Sierra Leone were there for the photo finish. To be decided.
Update: Mystik Dan has won the 150th Run for the Roses. He was 18-1. Details to follow.
It was literally a bob of the head that made the difference.
Forever Young finished third. The time was 2:03.3.
The margin was the closest since Grindstone won years ago. I would argue it was closer. It was the closest thing to a dead heat I have seen in this race.
Here is a photo of the finish:
THE race, courtesy of NBC Sports:
Earlier: Today's race marks my 63rd viewing of the Derby. I have watched every single one of these races live, with the exception of 1974, which was a delayed broadcast locally in Medford, Oregon, with my first winner being Carry Back in 1961, when I was six years old.
I am pushing 70, which I can't believe.
A live stream can be found via here, although I don't believe the actual race will be here given how NBC/Universal are about that sort of thing. However, this is the official KD YouTube channel, so anything is possible. It provides a link to a "free" livestream.
