This was a derby where the top horses finished in the exact order they were favored.  Nyquist went off at 2-1, which by Derby standards is a huge favorite. Exaggerator finished second, and was 5-1.  Gun Runner finished third at 10-1. Mohaymen finished 4th at 12-1.<p>This almost NEVER happens in the Kentucky Derby, which is known for being a wildly unpredictable race.  They simply bet &quot;the chalk&quot; (gambling slang for favorites), which by definition is the crowdsourced results, since odds are determined by the relative bets placed by the public.  They could have looked at the top 5 horses (there was one other horse at 12-1), bet them in order of odds for $2, and come up with the same result. The only reason the winning ticket was worth so much is because of the insane amount of money bet on this race.<p>Prediction: Next year&#x27;s &#x27;crowdsourced&#x27; prediction will closely match how the betting shakes out, and it will fail, because that&#x27;s how horse racing works. Now, if they can come up with results that are profitable over time for a large amount of races, then I&#x27;ll start to be impressed.
