Yeah! The underdog..uh, underhorse (?!) won!!

Nice story that goes along with the winner. He was bought for $9,500 and just won a cool $2,000,000+ million. His owners drove with him all the way from New Mexico. His trainer had to walk on crutches to the line, then got to walk up to the winner's circle the same way!

The longest odds since 1913 on a horse: 50 to 1.

Wish I'd had a thousand on that! There goes the retirement fund!
