DERBY 2016: Some dramatic finishes in the Run for the Roses (The Associated Press)
Picking the most dramatic finishes in the Kentucky Derby is all but impossible. From breathtaking duels to the wire (Grindstone-Cavonnier) to almost unthinkable upsets (Mine That Bird at 50-1) to completely overpowering victories (Barbaro by 6 1/2 lengths), there’s good reason the Derby is often called the greatest two minutes in sports. For many, though, it’s all about how the race unfolds once these 3-year-olds come hauling around the turn and into the stretch under the twin spires at Churchill Downs with 170,000 racing fans roaring at the top of their lungs.
