Meaning had dead aim. Explora was still fighting. For a moment, the race looked as if it might belong to one of the fillies who had been here all spring doing things in orderly fashion. Then Always a Runner came past them all at the sixteenth pole and drew off, stopping the clock in 1:48.62 and paying $13.04 to win.

The red carpet at the 152nd Kentucky Derby came alive Saturday morning as a mix of glamour, tradition and anticipation filled the air.
