Lord Miles pulled off the biggest upset of the Kentucky Derby prep season when he shockingly won the Wood Memorial at an enormous 59-1, earning him a spot in the starting gate in the first leg of the Triple Crown. Despite that victory, this son of Curlin enters the Derby as a huge longshot once again. He is trying to become the first horse from the Wood Memorial to win the Kentucky Derby since the gutsy gelding Funny Cide did so in 2003.
