2day in Sports History 1941 Derby upstart wins easily
The 1941 Kentucky Derby sees Whirlaway ridden by Eddie Arcaro surge to an eight length victory over Staretor, beginning a potential Triple Crown bid. In 1952 CBS televises the Derby as Hill Gall wins by two lengths over Sub Fleet, with Arcaro claiming a record fifth Derby. The 2000 Dodgers topple the Braves 6-4 to snap Atlanta’s 15 game win streak, longest since 1991 in the majors and 1951 in the National League. In 2001 Dallas defeats Utah 84-83 to become the sixth NBA team to win a series after trailing 0-2, rallying from double-digit deficits in all three wins, including 17 in Game 5.
