No horse had won the Kentucky Derby coming out of the 20 gate since 1929.

Big Brown must not be a history buff.

The heavy favorite coming into the race made a strong surge coming into the final turn and ran away from the field en route to an impressive victory that has the horse racing world buzzing about a Triple Crown winner in 2008.

Big Brown was so impressive that every owner but one with a horse in the Kentucky Derby has already declined an invitation to the Preakness.
