Dancer’s Image Wins Derby In Tight Photo Finish
Bobby Ussery became the first jockey in 66 years to win consecutive Kentucky Derbies as Dancer’s Image edged Forward Pass by a nose at Churchill Downs. Francie’s Hat faded to third with T.V. Commercial fifth. Kentucky Sherry led early before conceding the stretch run. Ussery’s back-to-back Derby feat echoes Jimmy Winkfield’s 1901-02 record.
