Rich Strike won the 2022 Kentucky Derby at 80 - 1 odds, and it wasn’t even in the field 24 hours earlier, as he was added from the also-eligible list only after a scratch the morning before. A $2 bet returned $163.60; a $10 bet returned $818. Only one horse has ever pulled a bigger Derby upset: Donerail at 91 - 1, in 1913.
