Who won the Kentucky Derby? Results as Sovereignty wins

Sovereignty and jockey Junior Alvarado entered their names in the horse racing history books after winning the 151st Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 3.

The race was completed in 2 minutes and 2.31 seconds on a fairly wet track.

Citizen Bull led a majority of the race before Neoequos took over before the final turn. Journalism briefly pulled ahead with the lead before Sovereignty pulled ahead down the final stretch to win the race. Journalism entered the race as the favorite.

Alvarado was set back by an injury in the weeks leading up to the derby that included a trip to the hospital. He also fell off his horse but was not injured during the Thurby race earlier in the week.

‘I can’t even describe it,’ Alvarado said in a post-race interview in the moments after the derby. ‘I’m pretty sure (my family is) way over the moon right now.’
