Horse Racing News :: Animal Kingdom wins 137th Kentucky Derby

Posted on 2011-05-07 by Gooner

Animal Kingdom roared from the pack to capture the 137th Kentucky Derby today at Churchill Downs.

It was Animal Kingdom's first race on a dirt surface.

Animal Kingdom was a 20-1 outsider ridden by John Velazquez, who lost his ride on Uncle Mo Friday when the horse was scratched.

Nehro also made a run, but finished second.
Mucho Macho Man was third.
Shackleford faded to fourth.

The weather didn't play a factor in the race even though weather reports called for a light rain around post time, and the sky over the twin spires of Churchill Downs was a dull gray.

The rain held off, which allowed relatively dry track conditions.
