HORSES Mage Takes The Crown At The 149th Kentucky Derby By Carly Billington | May 6, 2023 Photo courtesy of The Kentucky Derby. Share What an exciting Run for the Roses it was this year! Mage emerged victorious after posting a time of 2:01:57. Mage was in the rear of the field at the start of the race but was always traveling well. Castellano bided his time and pulled him out wide to make a challenge heading into the turn. Mage responded and produced a turn of foot to challenge Two Phil's and kicked on with a furlong to go. It's the second career win in four starts for Mage (16-1), whose trainer is Gustavo Delgado and jockey is Javier Castellano.
