Here is the recap of the 136th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky on May 1st, 2010. Congratulations to winner Super Saver ridden by Calvin Borel and trained by Todd Pletcher. This win marks the 3rd in 4 tries for Borel. The field was a sloppy one, but Borel rode brilliantly and pulled off the win!

One lucky fan won the "$100,000 Dream Bet" contest and was granted the right to place his money on the horse of his choice. He said he felt a gut instinct about #4 Super Saver and that gut instinct payed off to the tune of $800,000!

9thRace would also like to congratulate "Post Time Pete" for correctly picking the exacta for this year's Derby. (Post Time Pete's Picks) 9thRace would also like to congratulate "Big Daddy No Bucks" for having the courage to bet Pete's picks (and winning!) when Pete started to have doubts.
