Mystik Dan ran to victory in a tightly contested race at the 150th Kentucky Derby on Saturday, as the 18-1 longshot edged Sierra Leone and Forever Young in a photo finish.
The 150th Kentucky Derby produced one of the most dramatic finishes in its storied history three noses at the wire. Mystik Dan desperately fought to hang on with two challengers coming to him in the closing strides. He did, too, after a delay of several minutes while the closest three-horse photo finish since 1947 was sorted out.
It was a rarity and at the center of the attention as Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort at Hot Springs had an Oaks-Derby double, and the kings of thoroughbred racing are cousins Lance and Brent Gasaway of Gould.
