May 4, 2024 - Louisville, Kentucky - “When you have a deep closer like that, sometimes you’re going to have to go through some traffic and go wide,” said Sierra Leone [#2] Trainer Chad Brown, who finished second in the Derby for the second time in six years. “I’ll have to look at the trip a little closer, but it doesn’t really matter, he got beat a nose.”
T'was Kenny McPeek's Mystik Dan [#3], coming out of a third-place finish in the Arkansas Derby, helmed by Brian Hernandez for a post riding trip to hold off Sierra Leone by a nose, to gain victory in the closest Derby finish since Grindstone beat Cavonnier in 1996.
