 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Carl Nafzger created one of the most memorable moments in Kentucky Derby history with his stride-by-stride account of the 1990 race to 92-year-old owner Frances Genter.
Faltering eyesight prevented her from clearly following Unbridled's run that began with the colt near the back of the 15-horse field. He was 12th after a half-mile, moved up to sixth, then second before pulling away to a 3 1/2-length victory.
"He's taking the lead. He's gonna win. He's gonna win. He's gonna win," Nafzger informed her. "He's a winner! He's a winner! He's a winner, Mrs. Genter! You've won the Kentucky Derby, Mrs. Genter! I love you."
