Mystik Dan has won the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby in a dramatic photo finish at Churchill Downs on Saturday in Louisville. Mystik Dan edged out Sierra Leone and Forever Young in a rare three-horse photo finish to capture the first leg of the Triple Crown. The next race of the prestigious Triple Crown is on May 18 at the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Only 13 horses have won all three races in a single year, with the Bob Baffert trained Justify being the last to accomplish the feat in 2018. Since the first edition of the race in 1875, it has become the longest continuously held sporting event in the US, and arguably one of the most loved. Over the years the Kentucky Derby has seen sporting drama, controversy and has crowned some of the best race horses in history.
