If it’s the first Saturday in May, that means the most storied thoroughbred race in North America is on tap: the Kentucky Derby, also called the “Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports.”

The 144th Run for the Roses from Churchill Downs is Saturday with an apparent wide-open field. The current betting favorite in the 1 1/4-mile race for three-year-olds on the dirt track in Louisville is Santa Anita Derby winner Justify at +350.

Justify is trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, who has won the Kentucky Derby four times – last with American Pharoah in 2015. That colt became only the 12th winner of the Triple Crown (and first since 1978), which means a sweep of the Derby, the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico two weeks later and the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park three weeks after the Preakness.
