It truly did come down to the wire, but the horse from the 19th gate, I'll Have Another, edged No. 6 Bodemeister and No. 5 Dullahan in the final stretch on Saturday to win the 2012 Kentucky Derby in surprising fashion.
I'll Have Another entered the afternoon with a 15-to-1 chance to win according to oddsmakers, and paid off quite handsomely as a somewhat unexpected underdog champion.
