I’ll Have Another (right) won the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby, surging past Bodemeister in the final straight to claim the first jewel in US flat racing’s Triple Crown. Trained by Doug O’Neill, Santa Anita Derby-winner I’ll Have Another gave Mexican jockey Mario Gutierrez a victory on his first Kentucky Derby mount. Bodemeister led as they turned for home, but showed the wear of the blistering pace he’d set under jockey Mike Smith. I’ll Have Another stormed past in the final furlong to win by 1 1/2 lengths. Bodemeister held off a charging Dullahan for second place.
