Brokers Tip raced 14 times in his career, only winning once. However, that one win was the Run For The Roses.

And then there was this...

Press photographer Wallace Lowry lay beneath the rail near the finish line to get this now oft-taken low-angle Derby picture, and got a whole lot more than he bargained for!

These days, many cameras are lined up on tripods under the rail for this famous angle every year and operated by remote control from much safer places, but they don't get shots like this too often...

Throughout the stretch run, the jockeys of Brokers Tip (Don Meade) and the favored Head Play (H. W. Fischer) fought each other after the two horses had bumped as they straightened for home, creating this one-in-a-billion photo op.

In 1933, photo-finish technology and stewards video cameras didn't exist yet so it was left to the judges to decide: A: Who won? B: Was there a foul as Fischer claimed?

After a delay, the judges decided that Brokers Tip had won by a nose and that no foul had occurred. Both jockeys were suspended for 30 days for rough riding, and Fischer got another five days for smacking Meade with his whip after the race was over (and possibly for jumping him in the jockeys' locker room afterward).

Unfortunately, the only motion pictures known to exist of this race come from a newsreel of only about five seconds of the jockeys fighting as the horses approached the wire.
