When it comes to the Kentucky Derby, if you're tired of Bob Baffert, you're out of luck.
Less than three months before the 145th renewal on Saturday, May 4, the trainer of recent Triple Crown winners American Pharoah (2015) and Justify (2018) looks to again have a deep and talented barn as the Derby prep season starts to pick up its pace.
The 66-year-old Baffert, who has won the Derby five times, has four of the top six choices in Pool 2 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wagering in Game Winner, Improbable, Mucho Gusto and Coliseum, though the latter of the four finished a disappointing third in last Saturday's San Vicente and might be off the trail.
Still, there is a lot of time and races between now and Derby day. This weekend features the El Camino Real Derby and the Risen Star before March heats up with the Fountain of Youth (March 2), the San Felipe (March 9) and Tampa Bay Derby (March 9).
Here's a look at the horses to watch:
