As he did last year when he was beaten on favorite easy goer Day started from Post no 1j. During the week preceding the 116th running of americans biggest race unbridled had been overlooked in the publicity buildup Given to summer Squall and mister Frisky. Suddenly unbridled became the biggest Story in racing. A if you have to win the Kentucky m completing 8the order of finish after video Ranger were Silver ending killer Diller land Rush a dry six red Power lunch real can or. Bobby a., Pendleton Ridge Burnt Hills and fighting fantasy. Each carried 126 pounds. Unbridled had been Ridden by Day in the Florida Derby but he took himself off to ride summer Squall. It was unbridled a fourth win in 11 outings and his second win in five starts this year. The Winner who earned $581,000 from a purse of $756,000, paid $23.60, $7.80 and $5.80.
