The running of the 140th Kentucky Derby stopped work in the Wells Fargo Championship Media Center.

Fortunately, play in the third round had ended some 45 minutes earlier with J B Holmes, who strangely had been present at the 2013 Kentucky Derby, leading the event by a stroke on 13-under par.

There was a sweep among those in the media center and with Tour Miss and myself drawing No. 14 – Medal Court & No. 18 – Candy Boy.

Medal Court was at odds of 20- 1 and Candy Boy 15-1 for the first leg of the famed Triple Crown.

However it was the favourite and No. 1 California Chrome that won with ease with No. 17 Commanding Curve second and No. 4 Danza third.

The race was run in front 164,906 and the second largest ever in the history of the race.
