Fort Worth Star-Telegram Copy Editors: We Had Too Many
There's nothing quite like opening up your Sunday morning newspaper to read of all the Derby news and excitement from the previous day. The Kentucky Derby is known as The Most Exciting Two Minutes In Sports: The thunderous charge of horses as the gates spring open, the roar of the crowds, the cheers, the tears, the exultation and glory of crowning a new Derby Winner.
A sports event of this magnitude ended up relegated to page 10C of the Star-Telegram (motto: "If it's happening in Fort Worth, it's news to us!") - behind the Mavs losing, the Rangers winning, and Yankees' Mariano Rivera tearing some ligament in some knee. Regardless, the Derby feature article was by Beth Harris (AP).
However, when I went to review the chart I was stunned! The Star-Telegram published last year's chart! (Click to enlarge)
Whoa!

Looks like the purse went up a little, too. $5 million?
