Justify Wins 144th Kentucky Derby

Justify

Justify is the winner of the wettest Kentucky Derby ever.  Justify with jockey Mike Smith went off as the 5-to-2 favorite  and was first to the finish line on a muddy track at Churchill Downs.   Good Magic finished second, followed by Audible.  It was a historic win,  as Justify became the first horse since 1882 to win the Derby without racing as a two-year old.  The Derby is the first leg of horse racing's Triple Crown.  The Preakness Stakes will take in two weeks.
