Kentucky Derby future bets tend to be more conservative than they used to be at the Wynn hotel and casino in Las Vegas, where legendary oddsmaker Johnny Avello was known for offering great value with his numbers. Avello is now at DraftKings, and William Hill has taken over as the […]
For Barclay Tagg, it’s been 17 years since he and the ownership group he trains for has been in this position. For Bob Baffert, it’s been a year. And for Linda Rice? Well, there’s a first time for everything. Your three winning trainers from Saturday’s Grade 3 Kentucky Derby prep […]

Remember War Emblem? The 2002 Kentucky Derby champion ridden by Triple Crown-winning jockey Victor Espinoza?
