1985 Kentucky Derby

The 1985 Kentucky Derby was won by surprise horse
 Spend A Buck, who ran,at the time, the 3rd fastest derby race in history (2 mins 1/5 sec).  
Spend A Buck would go wire to wire to clinch the 1985 derby, however his owner decided not to run the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.  This ruled out any Triple Crown winner for 1985 and thus all Triple Crown races added a bonus' to owners to enter their horse.

1985 Winner - Spend A Buck

2nd - Stephan's Odyssey

3rd - Chief's Crown (race favorite)
