In the 129th Run for the Roses, Funny Cide, at 12-1, hangs on to win the Kentucky Derby.
2004 Kentucky Derby – Smarty Jones
Smarty Jones wins the 130th Kentucky Derby on one of the sloppiest tracks in history. He becomes the first undefeated horse to win the Derby since Seattle Slew in 1977.

Giacomo comes from the back of the pack to win the 131st Kentucky Derby in a three-way photo finish with Closing Argument and Afleet Alex.

Not sure that you statement under 2001 Manarchos is correct, Sham actually ran the derby in 1973 (second to secretariat) in a 1:59.90. Monarchos would be the third.
i cant wait for the Kentucky derby it going to be great although i think there is not as good of horse as recent years.
A motivating discussion is worth comment. I do think that you need to publish more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but usually folks don’t speak about these topics. To the next! Kind regards!!
