*''I'll Have Another'', a longshot underdog colt (at 15-1 going into the 2012 [[Kentucky Derby]]) and ridden by Kentucky Derby rookie Mario Gutierrez, won the fabled race in an upset, later winning the [[Preakness]] before being scratched and unable to complete the Triple Crown at the [[Belmont Stakes]].
*[[Atletico Madrid]], a Spanish soccer team whose roster had far fewer stars and cost much less than the expensively-assembled [[Real Madrid]], which contained the two most expensive players in the world, and the star-laden and [[liberal]]-promoted [[FC Barcelona]], won the 2013-14 La Liga championship over both clubs. Furthermore, their star striker, Diego Costa, had only scored 52 league goals over seven prior career years and had bounced around seven different teams before the 2013–14 season, but in that season alone, he scored 27 league goals, easily surpassing his previous career-best and leading Atletico to the title.
