On May 5th, 1990 in the 116th running of the Kentucky Derby, Craig Perret aboard Unbridled wins in 2:02
As a 92-year-old when she won the Derby, Unbridled's owner, Frances Genter, holds the distinction as the oldest winning Kentucky Derby owner. In one of the most touching Kentucky Derby moments, the trainer Carl Nafzger is relating the progress of the race to Mrs. Genter and as it becomes apparent that Unbridled will win he tells her, "We won the Kentucky Derby. Oh, Mrs. Genter, I love you."
Unbridled paid $23.60 win, $7.80 place, $5.80 show
I had Summer Squall......that's right, 2nd place.
