LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- It's Kentucky Derby Day, and a field of 19 is set to go to post for the 151st running of the race. You may not be at Churchill Downs to take a look at the horses in the paddock (and probably couldn't get close enough to the paddock anyway!)
But here are recent photos of all 19 starters, with a bit of info on each, trainer, jockey, sire, dam, record, earnings and current odds. We've also added each colt's record on wet tracks — which they're sure to deal with in Saturday's Derby.
