The horse that entered the race at 80-1 odds — the biggest long shot in the 20-horse field, was the first to cross the line. It’s the 2nd-biggest upset in the race’s 148-year history.

Rich Strike began the derby week as an alternate and wasn’t added to the field until Friday when another horse pulled out of the race.

The World Video Game Hall of Fame has announced their four inductees for 2022.

They are: Ms. Pac-Man (1982) Sid Meier’s Civilization (1991) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) and “Dance Dance Revolution” (1998).

In order to become eligible for the Hall of Fame, a video game has to meet four criteria. First, it has to have icon status, meaning it’s widely recognized and remembered. Second, it has to have longevity, so it has to be more than a fad.

Third, it has to have geographical reach, and fourth, it has to have influence, whether that’s in pop culture or with the development of future games.

You can visit the Hall of Fame inside the Strong Museum in Rochester, New York.
