" I fell down in the paddock when he hit The Wire , " Mr Reed said.
" I passed out. I'm so happy. This is The Reason everybody does this. We're not supposed to be here but I knew this horse loved this track and he has been training So Good all year. "
The trainer had considered walking away from the sport after he lost 23 horses in a barn fire in 2016.
Despite being The Outsider , owner Rick Dawson did not seem surprised by the outcome.
" We always felt like if we could just get into The Race , we'd have A Shot , and we proved it today, " Mr Dawson said.
" We've never entered a race we didn't think we could win. Ever. "
About 150,000 spectators attended Saturday's race, including former President Donald Trump and rapper Drake.
In 2021, betting on the Kentucky Derby reached $233 million, up 85% from the year before, which was held without spectators due to the Covid-19 pandemic, according to industry publication Bloodhorse .
