Todd Pletcher Horses Dominate Kentucky Derby Field
by Trevor Whenham - 4/29/2013
Todd Pletcher is the king of thoroughbred racing. The trainer has been the leading trainer in the country by earnings seven times since 2000, including the last three years. He has a significant lead this year, too. He’s a polarizing figure in the sport despite his success, though.
2013 Kentucky Derby Trainers
by Trevor Whenham - 4/29/2013
Part of what makes the Kentucky Derby so fascinating is that there are so many characters involved. The horses are obviously crucial, but they can’t accomplish anything without the hard work of the trainers and the jockeys. Here’s a look at some of the 2013 Kentucky Derby trainers who will factor heavily into the betting decisions for this year’s race:
2013 Kentucky Derby Betting: Favorite Currently Unclear
by Trevor Whenham - 4/29/2013
We are in a strange situation heading into this Kentucky Derby. With post time less than a week away, we really don’t have a clear sense of which horse is going to be the Kentucky Derby favorite. Most times we know which horse will be the favorite or at least which two horses have a chance. This year, though, things are muddy.
Female Jockeys in the Kentucky Derby
by Trevor Whenham - 4/28/2013
Barring a late injury, Mylute will enter the starting gate on the first Saturday in May for the Kentucky Derby. When he does, he will have, like most horses in the field, and exceptional jockey on his back. The only difference is that that jockey is the only woman in the field — Rosie Napravnik. This is her second time in the race, and she has a chance to make some real history.
Trainer Doug O’Neill and the 2013 Kentucky Derby
by Trevor Whenham - 4/28/2013
If the horse stays healthy, then Santa Anita Derby winner Goldencents will be one of the three or four top favorites at post time in the Kentucky Derby. He’d get a lot of attention as the winner of one of the four biggest Derby prep races in any circumstances. This year, though, he’ll get even more attention than normal — and not all of it positive — because of trainer Doug O’Neill.
Horses That Can Win the 2013 Kentucky Derby
by Trevor Whenham - 4/24/2013
The field is coming into focus for the Kentucky Derby. By now we know that any horse that enters the race has a chance to win it. Mine That Bird taught us that emphatically. There are some real contenders and some horses that are less likely to win, though. If I had to limit the likely field of 20 to something more manageable, then I would identify these six horses that can win the Kentucky Derby (odds to win the Kentucky Derby are from Sportsbook.ag):

by Trevor Whenham - 4/23/2013
We’re less than two weeks from the Kentucky Derby. There will likely be a full field of 20 horses in the starting gate when the first Saturday in May rolls around. It’s uncertain exactly what the field will look like because the new points qualifying system means there is still some uncertainty at the bottom of the field. For the most part, though, we know what it will look like.

2012 Kentucky Derby Trainers
by T.O. Whenham - 5/2/2012
Baffert brings two horses to the race this year, but the one everyone will be paying attention to is potential favorite Bodemeister — named after Baffert’s son Bode. The other is Liaison, a talented colt who has yet to find his stride. Baffert is, in my eyes, as good as there is in the game right now.

2012 Kentucky Derby Handicapping: the Experience Factor
by T.O. Whenham - 4/27/2012
Thanks to the impressive Bodemeister one of the biggest storylines heading into the Kentucky Derby is going to be the so-called “Curse of Apollo”. In 1882 Apollo won the Derby after only making his racing debut earlier in his three-year-old year. In the 130 years since, though, no horse has managed to win the biggest three year old race in the world without racing at two.
