Kentucky Derby Official Program 127th Saturday May 5, 2001 Churchill Downs TH7
The answer is: Canonero IL.
The question: What horse was the last member of the mutuel field to win the Kentucky Derby?
Canonero II was the last to earn that distinction and, because of a major change in wagering on the famed "Run for the Roses," he will remain so.
Edgar Caibett's Venezuelan invader returned a winning payout of just $19.40 when he scored a shocking 334-length victory in the 97t Kentucky Derby in 1971. That relatively meager return on a $2 win wager does not begin to illustrate the magnitude of his upset. Canonero I was completely disregarded by the media and his connections - including trainer Juan Arias and jockey Gustavo Avila - were complete unknowns in this country.
The son of Pretendre had won four races in Venezuela in the months leading up to the Derby, but the quality of his competition was a mystery to American racing fans and the colt
