Why Every Horse in the Field Can (and Can't) Win Kentucky Derby 148

Before you make your Kentucky Derby 148 selections, KSR shares something to know about every horse to help you make a profitable decision on the first Saturday in May.

1. Mo Donegal

  • Morning Line: 10-1
  • Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr.
  • Trainer: Todd Pletcher
  • Owner: Donegal Racing

Why it will Win: The 111 speed figure Mo Donegal posted in the Wood Memorial is tied for the fastest in the field. The colt gunned down the speedy Early Voting, who also posted a 111 at Aqueduct Park. Even though the rail is unkind to most horses, Irad is the jockey that can take advantage of that post position.
