Remember that Triple Crown drought in horse racing since Affirmed swept the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes in 1978? Yeah, that’s over. We’ve had two Triple Crown winners in the past four years: American Pharoah in 2015 and Justify last year.

It’s the first Saturday in May this weekend and that means it’s the first leg of the Triple Crown: the Kentucky Derby from Churchill Downs in Louisville. Like all Triple Crown races, the Derby is run on dirt and open to only three-year-olds. This race is run at 1¼ miles. The Derby often draws the highest single-day attendance of any sporting event in North America and biggest betting action of any horse race.

Is there another super horse waiting in the wings this year? There’s no massive favorite for Saturday’s race, which per usual is expected to have a full field of 20 (largest in racing). The opening favorite was Omaha Beach at +300.
