Kentucky Derby 2019 winner Country House claimed a controversial win Saturday.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Maximum Security ran wire-to-wire, but it was Country House that was a stunner. It’s hard to silence the Kentucky Derby crowd at Churchill Downs, but that’s what this 65-1 longshot horse did on a day that was anything but predictable.
On a sloppy track with rain falling, a compelling cast of characters assembled before the Twin Spires, including the dapper, 66-year-old trainer Baffert with his three entries in the race, the gray horse Tacitus with its two-toned tail , and the toothy biter, Vekoma. Crowded around to watch the 145th Kentucky Derby was a gathering of fans totaling more than 150,000, dressed in their Derby duds of many spring colors and unfazed by the drizzle that began to fall in the late afternoon. For the inexperienced, the Kentucky Derby crowd is perhaps unlike any sporting crowd in America due to its sheer size. They fill every crevice so that one imagines they could not fit one more single person in anywhere.
More than $150 million was wagered. More than 30,000 mint juleps were consumed. And, it was electric.
