2022 Kentucky Derby complete order of finish and payoffs

They wouldn’t call them long shots if we were all supposed to know.

Everyone feeling a little silly for not betting a couple of bucks on the longest shot in the field at Saturday’s 148th Kentucky Derby in Louisville can take solace in the fact they almost got it right.

Post-time favorite Epicenter finished second. Morning-line favorite Zandon finished third.

But it was the winner, 80-1 long shot Rich Strike, that nobody saw coming.

Trainer Eric Reed and jockey Sonny Leon became first-time Kentucky Derby winners as Rich Strike delivered the second-biggest upset in the history of the race. Donerail, in 1913, was a 91-1 shot.

In an event ruled by controversial Hall of Famer Bob Baffert in recent years, Rich Strike cleared the air on a cool and dreary evening at Churchill.

He paid $163.60 to win, $74.20 to place and $29.40 to show.

Second-place Epicenter paid $7.40 and $5.20.

Third-place Zandon paid $5.60.

A record $273.8 million was bet during Saturday’s 14-race Kentucky Derby card, according to Churchill Downs, an increase of 9% from the previous record of $250.9 million set in 2019.

Derby Week betting totaled $391.8 million — up 14% from the previous mark of $343.0 million set in 2019.
