Brokers Tip (1930-1953) was a Thoroughbred racehorse who is the only horse in history whose sole win came in the Kentucky Derby. His Derby win went down in history as the "Fighting Finish," in which his jockey (Don Meade) and the jockey aboard rival Head Play (Herb Fisher) literally fought one another atop their mounts down the homestretch. In an era before photo finishes, Brokers Tip was declared the winner by a nose.
