Will Bill Mott’s No. 18 Sovereignty (5-1) come flying late from the clouds if a speed-duel develops early up-front?
Will racing fans witness No. 17 Sandman (6-1) break thtough and emerge victorious from a post that has never produced a Derby winner (0-for-45), 0% win rate)?
Can Bob Baffert win the prestigious race for a record-breaking seventh time? The Hall of Fame trainer will try and upset the field with two talented colts from the far inside. A clean and fast start for No. 1 Citizen Bull (20-1) is paramount if he has any hopes to become the first Derby winner since Ferdinand in 1986 to win from the rail. Speedy Rodriguez (12-1) will also be forced to gun for the early lead in order to avoid getting shuffled back behind a wall of horses breaking from post No. 4.
The payout of the last four Derby the winner has paid an average of 35-1, the exacta (top two runners) has returned an average of 649-1, while the trifecta (top three runners) has brought back an average of 4,900-1!
