Setup of seeing horses, racial predictions and more

No. 18 Postposition with 5-1 chances of winning.

Jockey: Manuel Franco | Trainer: William I. Mott

Career highlight: won the youth fountain from 2025

Funny fact: Mott was the coach of resilience, who took sixth place in Kentucky Derby 2024.

2008 World Series Champion and Flying Mohawk owner Jayson Werth hoped for Slop in the Kentucky Derby. He had his wish and he is confident in his horse – but that doesn't delete his nerves.

Jamie Powell from Floyds Knobs, Indiana, and Tarra Puckett from Lexington Ky., Enjoy a kebab of strawberry and bananas and a cheesecake with chocolate cover.

It is Tarras for the first time and the derby. “I just love everything! The food is fashion. It's so much fun, even with this weather.”

With Rodriguez, which scratches out of the race, Baeza will now join the field from afar outside the post. Don't be fooled by his late entrance: this horse is an important contender.

He got involved against his favorite journalism in Santa Anita Derby against favorite journalism and hired a fight, lost less than one length and set an impressive assessment of 100 speeds. Like journalism, he continues to take the pace and possibly be able to burn out when the horses burn out in the foreground.

A very clear trend has appeared: the rail on the dirt route has a clear tendency (ie the horses have a much easier time on the inside of the route).

This makes the potential for a wire-to-wire that is quite possible by Citizen Bull, but in general it will be your champion to expect the horse at the last round. Anyone who tries to run the leadership from the mid-track has great difficulties.

On paper there is countless early speed in this year's Kentucky Derby – horses who want to be at the top or just from him to do their best. The problem with a lot of speed is that these horses tend to pushing each other too quickly, go too early, burn them all out and open the door for a rival with fresh legs to mow them on the track.

Four of the five inner horses in this year's races have the potential to flash early speed (Citizen Bull, NeoEquos, American promise and Daytona). So also the East Avenue and Owen all mights who will start further outside. This is the recipe for a melt of pace, and maybe even for someone who comes from the clouds to win at a large price. Sandman and sovereignty are the most advertised deep conclusions on the field; Tiztastic, Burnham Square and Gold of Gold will also come from afar and would all chase the dead panel into the air.

Miss USA, Alma Cooper, takes part in her first derby.

“My sister grew up with horses, so I love horses. So I am very happy that the horses go very quickly, I am so used to going to parades slowly,” she said.

She chose a Sherri Hill dress for this occasion and a few of her original pageant shoes from her first interview to be Miss Michigan.

“I bring the sunshine into this yellow dress.”

Your fascinator was from the hat Doctor. “If I had to do this hat, I would take three years.”

As far as the race is concerned, she is usually not interested in bets, but will place a bet later, but nobody will say who.

The Kentucky Derby Bugler Steve Buttleman gives a look behind the scenes at the dream job, which he has held in the past 30 years.

The horses based on their postal position:

1. Citizen Bull (15-1)
2. NeoEquos (51-1)
3. Endgambit (16-1)
4. Rodriguez (scratched)

Carrie and Jeff Ketterman are Louisville -Home. This is Carries 29. Derby.

“I come for fashion. I love the entire lead to the derby week. There is nothing better than the magic of the first Saturday in May!” She told NBC News.

As for the horses: “I love a gray.”

The first horse that she was bet on in 1997 was called Silver Charm. This year she relies on Sandman.

Al Bernstein from NBC Sports collapses why you should be a little careful when you bet the favorite.

“For example, this will be his first race outside of California, and we do not know how the shipping of cross -country skiing affects it. In addition, the average field size in its five races was only six horses, which is far from 20. Who want to run at the front end in the Kentucky Derby.

“When several horses run at the front end, stalkers who have never been on a field can be so big into the tempo battle. No matter how fast a horse is, a front duel can let it run empty on the route in the derby. None of it says that journalism is beaten, but he becomes the task of this task that he has never imagined before.” “

Steve Kornacki from NBC collapses everything you need to know before the Kentucky Derby – from top candidates to chances of betting. He joined Churchill Downs from today's Dylan Dreyer and the NBC Sports' Mike Tirico to discuss all actions before the race day.

The winner of today's Kentucky Derby will earn 3.1 million US dollars from a wallet of 5 million US dollars that are shared among the five best finishers.

For the owner of successful racing horses, the bolt fees are much more lucrative than track gains. According to Steven Mason from Bank of America, the bolt fees for top racing horses can outperform 300,000 US dollars, although most are much lower. Most are bred to 30 or 40 mares per season, he said.

There is a robust demand for high-end racing horses, even though sport decreasing. Mason found that the demand for yearlings or young horses is particularly strong, which he writes about the increasing popularity of Horse -renn's syndicates. The September -Year of Auction House Keeland made a record of 428 million US dollars last year. According to Keeland, the average sales price per horse was $ 150,548 compared to the previous year compared to the previous year.

The best thoroughbreds, such as those at Fasig-Tipton in November, can achieve seven figures at the auction.

The gold trophy, which was awarded to the owner of the Kentucky Derby winning horse, has its entry in Churchill Downs.

Lonnie Briley should never be here. The popular 72-year-old Louisian has been training horses since 1991 and had success, but mainly with cheap horses that races for small prices in racing backwater. Until now.

His horse, coal battle, may be missing the royal breeding of his enemies in this race, but that makes what he has achieved, only more impressive: an unlikely winning streak with four races in autumn and winter, from a small use with low delta-downs to a triumph into the rebel-Kentel-Kentel-Kentel. It has – by far – made him the most successful horse that Briley has ever conditioned.

Almost 15% of all wallet guests who have ever won Briley's horses have come from the coal battle in recent months. Before that, Briley had never come to the Kentucky derby in the distance, and only when he came here he opposed the chances. The chances of coal battle are long in this race (its speed numbers are on the light side), but even his rival trainers will probably smile if he can pull it out.

It's Kentucky Derby Day! Dylan Dreyer joins together by Churchill Downs to talk about how rainy weather can affect the race, which horse can be won and more. Then Joshua Weissman, the official chef in the Kentucky Derby, shares some recipes that are served in the race, including a French bourbon french toast casserole, a hot Honey Pork Belly and more.

His name is journalism and he gropes over the field in at least one remarkable metric. For every race that is directed by the country, each horse is assigned a Beyer speed evaluation based on an algorithm, with which deviations between different racing lengths and route conditions are flattened. The higher the number, the better the horse.

In one of the two most important Kentucky Derby Prep races he won in Southern California, journalism achieved a Beyer of 108, all of which occupied in this area. If the best Beyer does not automatically translate to victory, but last year last year the four top finishers were all horses that came in the field among the five highest Beyers.

The knock on journalism? He put these numbers against tiny fields – only four rivals in each of these races. In the Kentucky Derby he will be exposed to 19 opponents and much more traffic than he ever had to fight.
