The 150th running of the race came down to the wire with a thrilling photo finish between three different horses. Underdog horse “Mystik Dan” barely beat out one of the favorites, “Sierra Leone,” by a nose length to secure the first-place finish at the Kentucky Derby. “Forever Young” ran third by a nose length as well.
In a month, Mystik Dan will have the chance to compete for the second leg of horse-racings Triple Crown in New York for the Belmont Stakes. The Belmont Stakes will take place on June 8 at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
