2001 Kentucky Derby
The 2001 Kentucky Derby was the 127th running of the Kentucky Derby. The race took place on May 5, 2001. There was a crowd of 154,210 in attendance. The 127th Kentucky Derby was the first to be broadcast on NBC, garnering a Nielsen rating of 8.1.
Throughout the race, Monarchos was never in the front of the pack. Coming into the final quarter mile, he was 13th. The jockey of Monarchos, Jorge Chavez, swept past all of the horses in front to score a four and three quarters length victory over the second-place horse. Monarchos finished in the second-fastest winning time in Kentucky Derby history: 1:59 97.
The trainer of Monarchos John T. Ward Jr. was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. He had attended and graduated from the University of Kentucky before he began his journey as a trainer. Prior to the Kentucky Derby, Chavez and Ward had competed in two races in Florida. They had placed 2nd in the Wood Memorial race before placing first in the Florida Derby. Come time for the Kentucky Derby, there was a lot of criticism and excitement behind the team for Monarchos. Despite the backlash they were receiving, Chavez and his trainer Ward won their first ever Kentucky Derby.
After Monarchos crossed the finish line to win the Derby, the second place jockey Velazquez claimed that he was bumped into around the final turn. This accusation was later proven false and Chavez was given the bed of roses along with the victory. During an interview with Velazquez, he had admitted that Monarchos never hit him but did get in his way. "The winner was the best horse in the race. This is the Derby and I had to take a shot. I probably wouldn't claim foul in any other race" Velazquez said.
The Kentucky Derby does not only change the lives of the jockey but also the commonwealth of Kentucky. The 2001 Derby specifically raised over $218 Billion for the economy of Kentucky. The overall wagering of this Derby rose to a record $107,589,904.
Monarchos was a champions American Thoroughbred Stallion horse, and was born on February 9, 1998, in the United States. At the end of his career, his total earnings came to be $1,720,830, with an overall record of 10: 4–1–3.
In order to qualify, any horse that was to be nominated had to be three years old. An entry fee of $15,000 was levied against all nominations. Colts were not permitted to carry more than 126 pounds, and Fillies were not permitted to carry more than 121 pounds. A total of 441 horses were nominated to enter into the 2001 Kentucky Derby.
Monarchos, bumped by Point Given at the start and forced in on Jamaican Rum, was outrun for six furlongs. He raced five or six wide, commenced a sweeping run five abreast on the second turn to come out a bit further entering the stretch. Monarchos caught Congaree approaching the final sixteenth and drew clear under steady left-handed encouragement. Invisible Ink, unhurried to the far turn, moved up between foes approaching the stretch and angled outside the winner to secure room in the upper stretch. Invisible Ink couldn't menace Monarchos, but closed with good determination to wear down Congaree for a second. Congaree, in hand early while tracking the leaders four or five wide, accelerated to the front about the five-sixteenths pole, and settled into the stretch with a clear advantage. Congaree showed the way into the final furlong but weakened gradually thereafter.
