Alysheba wins Derby in rough finish at Louisville
Alysheba, an 8-1 shot under Chris McCarron, survived a bumped start and a stretch challenge from Bet Twice to win the 113th Kentucky Derby by 144 lengths. Trainer Jack Van Berg lauded the ride and hinted at a Preakness bid, while Bet Twice faded after a late challenge and favorite Demons Begone bled and did not place. Capote, the 2-year-old champion, finished 16th in a 17-horse field.
