9) The Kentucky Derby Curse (9 of 10)

Only one horse has won the Kentucky Derby as a 2 year old. In 1882, the Run for Roses horse race tournament crowned Apollo as the winner and since then, no 2-year horse has won.

Last year, Materiality, now a four year retired colt, won three races in a row and entered the Kentucky Derby. Materiality lost and the curse of Apollo lived on.
