Here is the recap of the 2012 Kentucky Derby 138 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky on May 5th, 2012. Congratulations to winner I'll Have Another ridden by Mario Gutierrez and trained Doug F. O'Neill.

The over-the-top pageantry and thrill the rumbling hooves of 20 of the world's greatest 3 year olds creates as they race towards the first turn is guaranteed to take the breath away of even the most stoic of us. And then there is the stretch run: there are no other races in the world where the words, "and down the stretch they come"" are nearly as rousing as they are at the Kentucky Derby. The Derby is truly the most exciting 2 minutes in American sports.
