The Kentucky Derby was run over the weekend, and to the naked eye seemed to be a dead heat with 3 horses hitting the finish line at the same time.

When the photo finish was shown, Mystic Dan nosed out Sierra Leon and the Japanese horse Forever Young (who traveled the farthest to race). Here is the photo finish. Very exciting.
