MEDINA SPIRIT goes to win the 2021 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky.
From NBC Sports:
MEDINA SPIRIT put up a wire-to-wire effort to win the 147th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
He set off at 12-1 odds and pushed the pace early. MANDALOUN and FLORENT GEROUX gave chase, but MEDINA SPIRIT outlasted him to the wire. Last year’s Champion 2-Year-Old Male and early Derby favorite ESSENTIAL QUALITY finished in 4th.
This is a record seventh Kentucky Derby win for his Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, who also won last year’s Derby with AUTHENTIC.
