LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The Odd Couple of the Kentucky Derby wasn't front and center this year.

Trainers Bob Baffert and D. Wayne Lukas who won a combined six of the previous eight Derbies finished out of the money Saturday.

They lost to Funny Cide, the first gelding winner since Clyde Van Dusen in 1929 and the first New York-bred champion ever.

Baffert, the sport's most recognizable trainer and resident comic, won last year with War Emblem. This time, his only entry of Indian Express finished 14th in the 16-horse field. The result matched Baffert's worst in eight trips to Churchill Downs.

Lukas, at 67 the race's elder statesman and dignified presence, did slightly better. Ten Cents a Shine was eighth and Scrimshaw 11th. Last year, he saddled Proud Citizen to a second-place finish behind Baffert.

Still, it was Lukas' worst pair of finishes since 2000, when his trio of starters were 12th, 15th and 17th.

Baffert seemingly realized early on that he wouldn't be revisiting the winner's circle. He lowered his binoculars the first time the field passed the grandstand and shook his white-maned head as if signaling, "No, no, no.''

His wife, Jill, had an ashen look on her face.

The bettors didn't believe, either.

Indian Express was sent off at $10.80-1 odds.

Lukas' duo garnered even less respect. Scrimshaw was $16.50-1, despite being owned by former Derby winners Bob and Beverly Lewis. Ten Cents a Shine was $37.20-1.

A year ago, Baffert and Lukas' 1-2 finish triggered a whopping exacta worth $1,300.80.
