KENTUCKY DERBY MADNESS: BODY FOUND ON THE TRACK, MARY J. BLIGE, KRAZY DERBY FASHION AND MORE

I’ll Have Another didn’t seem to have the goods to win the 138th Annual Kentucky Derby. He was sold as a yearling for only $11,000, ridden by an unknown rookie jockey hardly anyone knew.

“He’s an amazing horse. I kept telling everybody, from the first time I met him, I knew he was the one. I knew he was good,” winning jockey Mario Gutierrez said. ”I said in an interview, even if they allowed me to pick from the whole rest of the field, I would have stayed with him, 100 percent, no doubt about it.”

The excitement was dampened after a body was discovered at Churchill Downs just hours after the Kentucky Derby. The Louisville Metro police in Kentucky are still investigating.

On a lighter note, Mary J. Blige was asked to sing the national anthem to open festivities this year. Many traditional derby-goers were reportedly not happy to welcome the “Queen of Hip Hop/Soul” at first and felt she wasn’t the right “fit” for the event. She delivered a flawless performance and sported a fiery red out-fit for the derby. Check out the pics of Mary J. and some other krazy derby fashions below!
