It's the first Saturday in May and that means the Kentucky Derby is finally here! With a competitive fire rarely seen across the racing forum, 9 colts and 1 filly will go to the post this year in to catch the elusive and so dearly coveted Triple Crown. It is the ultimate test for 3 year olds in the United States and for two glorious minutes, the country stops to see who will win the Run for the Roses against all comers. With a near full field heading to the wire, it's a race full of enormous talent and the towering shadow of a two year old champion that has assembled to shake the forum to its core.

Call

It's the first Saturday in May and the track is still a sloppy mess after a downpour during the night and interminent showers during the day but the sun is now shining on these 10 colts and 1 filly as they make their way to the track for the 2017 Kentucky Derby!

Champion 2 year old Augustus holds court as the narrow favorite at 7 - 2, followed closely by Rhapsody's Motive as the second choice, with Delirium and Keen Ice not far behind as co-third choices. Apparition will come in as the fourth bettor's pick with Lost Hero and Upstart not far behind, while the rest of the field sport double digits odds leading up to the starting gate.

With a deluge the night before and in the early morning hours, the track is sloppy as they come but with a number of horses already sporting wins after off going, it should be no damper on the day's activities as the field of 11 hits the track for this year's Kentucky Derby!

The Run for the Roses begins NOW on Seeing Stars!

CONGRATS TO AUGUSTUS FOR WINNING THE KENTUCKY DERBY!

The top 5 finishers are automatically entered in the Preakness Stakes on May 20. The first jewel of the Triple Crown is in the history books, and for the third year in a row, a 2 year old champion colt is the winner!

Augustus split horses like a true professional and ran off at the eighth pole to show his utter dominance over his peers in the Derby, setting himself up for a potentially meteoric run in the Preakness Stakes. Can Skeptic channel Seabiscuit's historic sweep in 2012, and continue that win streak he began in Dubai? We'll see in two weeks as he and the rest of these fabulous horses return in Baltimore in two weeks!

Preakness Qualifiers:
1. Augustus
2. Lost Hero
3. Motive
4. Delirium
5. Apparition

Quarter Splits: 24.8 | 49.5 | 1:13.4 | 1:37.8 | 2:01.2
