The legend of Secretariat continues to grow.
Secretariat was the 7-2 favourite, although there was no wagering.
Instead, fans selecting the winning horse online were entered to win a VIP experience at the Derby this fall. Saturday's 1 1/4-mile race featured computer-generated imagery and was held the same day the 146th Derby had been scheduled until it was postponed by the coronavirus pandemic.
The 1973 Triple Crown winner waited until the final lengths to surge past the rest of the competition to win the 2020 virtual Kentucky Derby, which featured every Triple Crown winner. Secretariat was able to hold off Citation and Seattle Slew.
The Derby has been rescheduled for Sept. 5.
