Trainer Bob Baffert has won five Kentucky Derbies and two Triple Crowns while becoming the face of horse racing.
"The Kentucky Derby is still the one," Baffert said, standing outside his barn in front of a green-and-white sign freshly updated with the names of his Derby and Triple Crown winners. He will have three chances to make history on Saturday.
Baffert saddles Game Winner, Improbable and Roadster in the 145th Derby. None is the early favourite.
That status belongs to Omaha Beach, another California horse that is trained by Richard Mandella. A sixth victory by Baffert would tie him with Ben Jones for most in Derby history.
