Riders Up! Strikes Gold with Sovereignty!
What a wild ride in 2:02.31! The 151st Kentucky Derby crowned Sovereignty, the divine longshot and Riders Up’s headline pick, as the ruler of Churchill Downs. With Junior Alvarado channeling his inner prophet, the pace collapsed just as scripted (:46.1 at the half), and Sovereignty stormed from 17th to the lead like he was on a mission from God. By the top of the stretch, it was all over but the shouting, as he pulled away by 1 ½ lengths from favored Journalism.
Riders Up selections delivered the holy trinity of payouts: WPS on both Sovereignty and Journalism, plus the Exacta, Trifecta, and Superfecta. And had we only followed our own Saturday gospel on Owen Almighty loving the slop? The Super High-Five would’ve been ours too. Divine inspiration, or just data-driven destiny? Either way, outstanding effort after some recent struggles.
