The Tampa Bay Derby was about as ugly a race as you could see. When four horses are in a blanket finish like this, it's usually a sign of a bad race.

Odysseus was dead on the turn and won the race when it completely fell apart in front of him. The fourth place finisher Gleam of Hope was beaten a length. His prior top Beyer on dirt was a 73. Super Saver beat him 16 lengths in the Kentucky Jockey Club.
