"betting on the Bull in the Heather."

Bull in the Heather was a racehorse that was expected to lose a race badly and had the worst odds, but won the race.

The Florida Derby threw the Kentucky Derby picture into total confusion today when the 29-to-1 long shot Bull Inthe Heather came storming through the muddy homestretch at Gulfstream Park to win by two lengths over the undefeated favorite Storm Tower.

Bull Inthe Heather, whose name looks like a typographical error, had won only once in six starts before winning the big one against a dozen of the prime colts in this year's wide-open 3-year-old division. But he is a son of Ferdinand, who won the Kentucky Derby in 1986, and today the son took some giant strides on the road that the sire traveled to Louisville seven years ago.
