Immediately after riding I’ll Have Another to victory Saturday in the Kentucky Derby, jockey Mario Gutierrez gave a quote that secured a place in horse racing lore.
“I kept telling everybody, from the first time I met him, I knew he was the one,” Gutierrez told reporters. “I knew he was good.”
Gutierrez wasn’t the only one who knew it. A Las Vegas-based race and sports book discovered that the hard way when I’ll Have Another caught Bodemeister to reach the winners circle at Churchill Downs.
Lucky’s race and sports books, one of the only shops in town that offers futures betting annually on the Kentucky Derby, lost a significant amount of money because of I’ll Have Another’s triumph.
