Donald Trump strikes it rich at the Kentucky Derby with 80-to-1 outsider

A former longshot stole the show at the 148th Kentucky Derby to claim a handsome payday.

The annual hot-ticket horse race in Louisville, Kentucky, was turned into a lucrative fundraiser by Donald Trump for a political committee devoted to his MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement.

The political dark horse who seized control of his party and the presidency against the odds watched from a balcony as an 80-to-1 outsider, Rich Strike, came from nowhere to clinch a historic victory.
