Orb has splashed through the mud to win the Kentucky Derby, giving veteran Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey his first victory in the three-year-old classic.
When the field turned for home on the cool, overcast Saturday (Sunday AEST) afternoon at Churchill Downs, Normandy Invasion grabbed the lead while Orb was gearing up.
But in the surge to the line, Orb prevailed, carrying Joel Rosario to his first Derby win.
Long shot Golden Soul was second with Revolutionary third.
