The kentucky derby 2015 will have 21 horses racing against each other with the favorite american pharoah will be ridden by Victor Espinoza, who won the Derby last year on California Chrome which almost got the triple crown. Everyone else is here, including horses on winning streaks of six races (Dortmund), four (American Pharoah), three (Materiality and International Star) and two (Carpe Diem). Winners of the Santa Anita Derby (Dortmund), Wood Memorial (Frosted), Florida Derby (Materiality) and Blue Grass Stakes (Carpe Diem) are all present and accounted for so it's all ready to run. So whoever you're betting with it's you're discretion but at least go for the favorite one because here's the reality, American Pharoah (#18) is the likely favorite for Baffert.



A winner of four straight stakes races, the 2-year-old champion is very talented, drawing comparisons to former greats like Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, and amazed onlookers in a workout at Churchill Downs last weekend, moving exceptionally fast in an effortless manner, however, American Pharoah isn’t bred to handle the 1 1/4-mile distance on his female side and he’s had a light campaign with two easy wins this year against overmatched rivals. He may be special enough to overcome these obstacles, but American Pharoah still has questions to answer at short odds, so let's see what the outcome is.
