Rich Strike, Kentucky Derby. I’m posting the overhead view because it shows more clearly how far back he was.
The video of Crawford’s daughter is funny.
Did you watch the Kentucky Derby?

I know it isn’t the longest odds to win a Derby, but has to be the most improbable winner in history.

To @crparrothead :
I know that you fondly remember these come-from-behind victories:
The Comeback or The Choke was an NFL playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Oilers, played on January 3, 1993, at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. It featured the Bills recovering from a 32-point deficit to win in overtime, 41–38. To the present day, it remains the largest comeback in NFL history.
The game was televised by NBC, with Charlie Jones and Todd Christensen calling the action.

I’m voting for Crawford’s daughter. How many 7 year olds have the focus and mental toughness to stop, go back, put the shoe back on and then still outrun everyone else. If she goes into any serious athletic competition later in life, she could be very tough to beat.

A while back, I posted a similar question, regarding GOATs in their sport, with Secretariat as one of the options. It seems the posters on this board have something of a human bias.
