Mage finishes first in the 149th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs
Mage won the 149th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday. The 3-year-old chestnut colt, trained by Gustavo Delgado, edged out Two Phil’s, who crossed the line to finish in second place, and Angel of Empire finished third, in front of the over 150,000 fans in attendance.
Forte was the fifth horse to be scratched from the race and so the number of horses in the main event dropped to 18. It is the first time since 1936 that five horses have been scratched from the Derby. “I never give up, I always try hard,” jockey Javier Castellano said. “It took me a little while to get there, to finally get it.” The victory was the first at the Kentucky Derby for Castellano in 16 attempts. Prior to the Kentucky Derby, Mage only had one victory in three career starts.
