Win Willy shook up the road the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, passing heavily favored Old Fashioned in the stretch to win the Rebel Stakes in a stunning upset.
Previously unbeaten Old Fashioned was a 2-5 shot as the nine-horse field entered the starting gate, and he appeared to be in control after easily passing Silver City on the second turn. Win Willy then came up on the outside, seemingly out of nowhere, and passed Old Fashioned with room to spare.
Win Willy, trained by McLean Robertson and with Cliff Berry aboard, paid $115.60 on a $2 win bet. Old Fashioned held on for second, and Poltergeist was third. |
