Celebrate 151st Kentucky Derby with USA TODAY commemorative page print
On a muddy track in a stirring down-the-stretch duel, Sovereignty ruled them all at the 151st Kentucky Derby.
You can own a piece of horse racing history with a commemorative page print from USA TODAY. It features SOVEREIGNTY as its big headline and a spectacular photograph of the mud-caked champion ridden by equally dirty jockey Junior Alvarado. It includes the order of finish for posterity.

As the leaders faded, Journalism took the lead off the final turn. Sovereignty chased him down and eventually won by 1½ lengths. Trained by Bill Mott, Sovereignty came out of the 18th gate at 7-1 odds, covered the 1¼ miles on a sloppy track in 2:02.31 and paid $17.96 on a $2 win wager. Journalism, the 3-1 favorite, placed second. Baez, at 13-1 odds, finished third.
The 151st Kentucky Derby long will be remembered. And this commemorative page print will look amazing hanging on a wall.
