This is sooo cool, a huge Kentucky Derby upset ...

How would you have liked to put a Hundred $mackers on this baby? Wow a 50-1 shot...

I love this race, screw NASCAR!

I Love these pre race comments:

Giacomo
Odds: 50-1
Post Position: 10
Jockey: Mike Smith

Grey horse last won a race when he broke his maiden in October and finished a flat fourth in the Santa Anita Derby. It's hard to imagine why he's in the race, except that his owners clearly have a case of Derby Fever.

Giacomo avenges sire's loss with huge Kentucky Derby upset
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- This was payback.

Long shot Giacomo did what his sire, Holy Bull, failed to do when he won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday in the second biggest upset in the 131-year history of America's most famous race.

It was sweet revenge.

Holy Bull was the favorite in 1994 when a trainer named Nick Zito beat him with a colt named Go for Gin.

Eleven years later, before the second-largest crowd in Derby history, the son, a 50-1 shot, blew past not one or two but five of Zito's entries and won the $2.4 million Derby by a half-length over Closing Argument.

"I've been telling this colt since the first time I got on him, before he ever ran, that he was going to redeem his father's name in the Kentucky Derby," jubilant winning jockey Mike Smith said.

He would know, too. The Hall of Fame rider was also aboard Holy Bull.
