Ky Derby Results And Payouts
Authentic surprised us all by upsetting Tiz the Law in the Kentucky Derby
Saratoga's own Tiz the Law was expected to win a Kentucky Derby that — for the first time in its history the second leg of the triple crown — but was held off late by 10-1 underdog Authentic. The Bob Baffert-trained horse won the 1.25-mile race and led the majority of the way, with John Velazquez saving just enough of his energy for the final stretch.
The results went official as Authentic first, followed closely by Tiz the Law at second, and Mr. Big News in the show spot. The final finish behind these three went as follows: Honor A.P., Max Player, Storm the Court, Enforceable, NY Traffic, Necker Island, Major Fed, Sole Volante, Winning Impression, Money Moves, Attachment Rate and South Bend. Three horses scratched from the 16-horse field.

The betting payouts, however, are where things get interesting. The following information is courtesy of NBC Sports, and is meant to relay information related to a simple $2 bet. A simple bet to win on Authentic would've netted $18, while a place wager would've netted $6, and a show gamble would've won $5. Tiz the Law to place or show was hardly worth the gamble, as a winner would've only received $3.40 or $3.20 respectively. Believing in Mr. Big News to show, however, would've netted an impressive $16.80.
The exacta, trifecta and superfecta bets are a different story entirely. The exacta paid out at $41, the trifecta netted $1,311.80 and the superfecta won a staggering $7, 925.80.
Another year, another Derby in the books. We hope you all went home winners.
