The biggest day in the horse races of pure American blood is here, and we are only a few hours after listening to my old Kentucky house, since the 151st Kentucky derby is ready for a time after 6:57. And the rain in Louisville in Churchill Downs will be more than what is originally forecast, which makes what could be a slower and more confusing clue that most of these horses have seen before.
Here is the full expected field, with not. 4 Rodríguez and No. 10 that had scratched their legs earlier.

The most important thing for the biggest race is if you want to do Journalism A part of its winning board or not, and it is not as if there were no companies. Jockey Umberto Rispoli has never sailed in a 19 -horse field. It is very possible to be squeezed when you do not want to be part of the early rhythm, and the horse will certainly not want to be leading in the 1⁄4 pole. And although he has won the three bets in which he entered, they were all against the five -horse fields.
But it is also possible that we were as close as we had a super horse in a long time. Curlin’s son and mopotism has run five times, and after losing his initial maiden, it is the four spray. His victories in the Futury and San Felipe Stakes Alamitos were excellent, but their dust of the field in the Derby de Santa Anita per month Acho was the next level. Also hero two of the other favorites in this field in Baeza and Citizen Bull.
And do not let the gain of a length in Santa Anita deceive you: it touched a terrible trip in a short field, with much to give while crossing first. The victory in San Felipe was the same, as Rispoli did enough to win, without the need for all the speed that seemed bevailable. If you can find some space in the car accident of the derby of a field, it is the chalk for a reason.
If you are looking for journalism, Fanduel Racing is offering a strong reimbursement of a deal in horse racing bets until June 30, since the new client can place its first at $ 500 in any race on any track. If your first bet does not win, you will recover it in dollars of racing bonus for future bets in horse racing. Bonus dollars expire after seven days.
Sovereignty It also has tons of closing speed, and Junior Alvarado will do it because as slowly as possible, but that does not seem likely in this field. But Savereigtty in its last three betting races was not better than the fifth in the 3⁄4 Pole, and ended with two victories and a second that was near the Florida derby. Only five winners have come from the 132 horses that have begun at the door no. 17 or more in Churchill Downs, so getting a line without being encased will be key to Bill Mott.
There always seems to be a quick rhythm in the derby, since speed horses try to get away from a superpoblado field, and the only entrance of Bob Baffert in Citizen bull You will try to do that this year from the railroad. In three of his last four races, he was the first in the post room and the finish line. And although a figure of 107 speeds in the bets of Robert B. Lewis is always impressive, just jump in the field and endured to win.
But the child of the closing speed behind him that day is not almost what he will have to do to endure here. Derby flyers do not happen often, but knowing that a horse is guaranteed to make the fast pace makes mass discourse a little easier. The most recent departure of the 2024 Breeders Cup winner was that Santa Anita Derby, where he finished 10 long behind journalism in room.
John Shirreffs Baaza It was the first alternative after finishing second in the Derby of Santa Anita. Baaza took three exits to break his maiden, but his fourth beginning in his career was a second place in the Santa Anita derby. A 107 -speed figure in that race saw him finish just one head behind journalism shows that raw talent is there on swords. It is a fantastic horse with all the skill, and perhaps the child who will perform in front of 150,000 people and a massive field better than a narrower one.
If you need a closer that can have a good price, Final Gambit As a way of making a big bigger triumph. Jeff Ruby Stakes winner paid 32.14 for his victory in Turfway Park, showing an excellent rhythm on the section to Mohawk’s flying advantage, among others. Another horse you don’t want to go from the front, you could certainly find a road in a show or better on a muddy track on Saturday.
