Giacomo

Winner of Kentucky Derby is a Longshot

Saturday, May 7th, 2005

Giacomo , a 50-1 longshot, has won the 131st Kentucky Derby

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Giacomo defied the odds and won the $2.4 million Kentucky Derby in a gigantic upset Saturday, running down a game Afleet Alex in the final strides and generating a huge payoff.

Even though trainer Nick Zito had five horses in the field of 20, including the favorite, George Steinbrenner's Bellamy Road, this Derby belonged to a 3-year-old colt who had won just once in seven races.
