Always Bet on the Long Shot

'Cause it's more fun anyway and sometimes you win.

Country House's win in the 2019 Kentucky Derby will be remembered throughout history for a number of reasons.

The first thing people will talk about is the finish. Maximum Security was declared the winner initially, but Country House eventually was named the victor after an objection led to a disqualification.

But people will also remember Country House's long odds. The Bill Mott-trained colt was a 65-1 long shot at post time, among the longest odds in the race.

And in the immortal words of a soaked Infield attendee, "It's not a real Derby unless it rains."
