1:21Now PlayingCountry House won the 145th edition of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday in a dramatic end after the horse that crossed the line first was disqualified.
Maximum Security led throughout the race but was later disqualified for interference. Instead, 65-1 shot Country House, which finished second, was declared the winner after video footage was reviewed from several angles. The win was Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott's first victory at the Derby, the Associated Press reported.
The real winner, though, was the Duchossois family, the biggest individual shareholder of Churchill Downs Inc. Known as “the greatest two minutes in sports,” the race generates as much as 20 percent of Churchill Downs’s annual revenue, which topped $1 billion last year. That’s fueled in part by the 127,000 mint juleps served over the weekend and hundreds of millions in gambling wagers on Derby day.
