Giacomo lands Kentucky spoils

Giacomo became the second-longest priced winner of the Kentucky Derby when flying late to capture the prestigious race at Churchill Downs on Saturday night.

John Shirreffs’ charge was well off the pace turning for home but stuck his head out and battled all the way to the line to land the 131st running of the Grade One contest at a massive 50-1 – the biggest priced winner since 1913.
