Meanwhile, eight-time Eclipse Award winner Todd Pletcher has just two remaining starters with Forte out. Trainer Brad Cox, who won the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Trainer in 20, has four horses competing. This year's field opened with 20 horses looking to run their way into the history books, though it has been cut down significantly with multiple scratches - including favorite Forte being pulled Saturday morning before the race. Last year, Rich Strike shocked the world with a victory as an 80-1 longshot - the second longest odds of any horse to win the Kentucky Derby after Donerail (91-1) in 1913. Per tradition, the iconic race is taking place at Churchill Downs in Louisville.
The 2023 Kentucky Derby - the 149th running of the event - is set for Saturday, May 6 with a post time of 6:57 p.m.
