<p>I'll Have Another raced just three times since last September, and jockey Mario Gutierrez raced his first time ever at Churchill Downs, much less the Kentucky Derby. The two beat 15-1 odds, however, to take down favorites like Bodemeister and Union Rags at the 2012 Kentucky Derby.</p>

</p>
<p>I'll Have Another overtook Bodemeister down the final stretch for the win. Bodemeister held 4-1 odds earlier this week, and is owned by the renowned Bob Baffert. The impressive race horse held a five-length lead coming up to the finally stretch. The impressive pedigree ultimately didn't hold out, however. I'll Have Another shocked every one with an impressive surge, and no doubt made a lot of smart betters happy. I'll Have Another paid out $32.60 with the win. </p>

<p>I'll Have Another is your winner of the 2012 Kentucky Derby at 15-1 odds. Bodemeister came in second with 4-1 odds, and Dullahan came in third with 10-1 odds at the 138th running of the race at Churchill Downs on Saturday. I'll Have Another paid out handsomely for whoever had the foresight to take the inexperienced horse.</p>
<p>It was only the third race ever for I'll Have Another since September. Jockey Mario Gutierrez had never raced at Churchill Downs much less the Kentucky Derby. You can be sure bettors are very happy now. After the race, Gutierrez said he knew he was going to win all along. "He's an amazing horse. I told everybody the first time I met him that I knew he was the one."</p>
<p>I'll Have Another paid $32.60 for the win. If you bet the $2 Exacta, Trifecta or Superfecta and won, your payout would've been handsome. Here is what the winning numbers paid:</p>
<p>Exacta: 19-6 - $306</p>
<p>Trifecta: 19-6-5 - $1,532</p>
<p>Superfecta: 19-6-5-13 - $48,000</p>

<p>Matt Gardner of the SB Nation horse racing blog <a href="http://anddownthestretchtheycome.com/" target="_blank">And Down The Stretch They Come</a> takes a look at some of the horses, jockeys and trainers you'll be hearing about on Saturday.</p>
