Street Sense earned a 2 1/2-length victory and became the first 2-year-old champion since 1979. A 9-2 favorite on his home track, Street Sense rallied from a position of second-to-last for the win. He later finished second in the Preakness and did not run in the Belmont Stakes.

8. 2002 Kentucky Derby: War Emblem strong form start to finish
After taking the lead in the first quarter mile, War Emblem stayed up front on the 1 1/4-mile track and won by four lengths in 2002. The victory for the 21-to-1 long shot was even more surprising considering his jockey, Victor Espinoza, hadn't seen the horse until the morning of the race. War Emblem also won the Preakness, setting up a Triple Crown bid. At the Belmont Stakes, however, War Emblem stumbled out of the gate. While he briefly took the lead in the final turn, he had expended too much energy trying to catch up early and finished eighth.

Funny Cide cruised to a 9 3/4-length victory at the Preakness, the race's second-largest winning margin ever, but came in third at the Belmont Stakes.
