It was a great day at Churchill.  The juleps were flowing.  The hats were huge.  The odds were long and the racing was intense.

Animal Kingdom pulled off the upset victory in the 137th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Animal Kingdom went off as a 20-1 long-shot but still was able to cross the finish line first. Animal Kingdom was initially a 30-1 morning line long-shot but was bet down to 20-1. So how exactly did Animal Kingdom pull off the stunner?
