A crowd of about 150,000 is expected to jam Churchill Downs to wager and watch the 1 1/4-mile Derby.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The cast of characters for the 149th Kentucky Derby was rewritten in the days before the race. What didn't change: Forte is the early 3-1 favorite on Saturday in a seemingly wide-open field of 19 horses.
“There’s no thrill of winning the Derby through a phone call," he said. “There's no celebration, there's no winning picture.” “They would like to cross the wire first and stay up,” Cox said. “They got a really live crack. This colt is really doing well.”Luis Saez rode Maximum Security in 2019 and received a 15-day suspension for interfering with others; he's seeking his first Derby win aboard Tapit Trice. Florent Geroux, who was on Mandaloun, is on Jace's Road.
Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. found himself on the sideline after being indefinitely suspended Thursday by Churchill Downs Inc. His Derby entry, Lord Miles, was scratched. Two of Joseph's horses died after races at the track in the days leading up to the Derby. No cause of death has yet been found.
