Re: Horse Racing
Orb makes history in Derby
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Orb produced a tremendous late surge to give Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey his first ever win in the Kentucky Derby at a rainswept Churchill Downs.
Palace Malice set frantic early fractions on the sloppy track before capitulating on the home turn, where Normandy Invasion took up the running briefly.
However, Joel Rosario then produced Orb, who swept by and kept up the gallop to beat fellow fast finishers Golden Soul and Revolutionary.
"It means everything to me. I've always dreamed of this day," McGaughey told NBC Sports.
