View of Twin Spires at Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby

The Sport of Kings crowned a new prince on Saturday when 12–1 Medina Spirit was the first to hit the wire at the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby. The win gave trainer Bob Baffert an unprecedented seventh trip to the winner’s circle at Churchill Downs.

“I’m the luckiest guy in the world,” Baffert shared with NBC. “I’m so spoiled bringing these heavy-duty horses in here, and this little horse has a big heart.”
