Originally on the also-eligible list, Rich Strike drew into the Kentucky Derby the day before, when Ethereal Road was scratched. That scratch turned out to be the break of the century for Rich Strike, as he pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the history of the race. He found his way to the rail from the extreme outside post, and took advantage of a very fast pace and a wide-open rail to shoot through on the inside and win at 80.80-1.
