    Always Dreaming, The Favorite, Wins The Kentucky Derby

    Always Dreaming took the Kentucky Derby in what was almost a wire-to-wire win in a race that didn't see much movement among the leaders after the first quarter of a mile. Lookin at Lee placed and my Battle of Midway took third. Classic Empire came from back in the pack to close for fourth. Irish War Cry was contending for the lead at the top of the stretch but quickly faded away. And McCraken, the horse that was so supposedly in peak form, was never really a factor as was Gunnevera.

    Always Dreaming went off at 9-2 odds, Looking at Lee was 30-1, and Battle of Midway was at 40-1, creating huge payouts for exacta and trifecta bets.
