The Kentucky Derby is today! I know I'm excited. Are you excited?!

I like the following horses (jockey, trainer) in the following order: 8 Journalism (Umberto Rispoli, Mike McCarthy); 21 Baeza (Flavien Prat, John Shirreffs); 18 Sovereignty (Junior Alvarado, Bill Mott); 7 Luxor Cafe (Joao Moreira, Noriyuki Hori).

Here's the complete list of entries (minus numbers 4 (Rodriguez) and 10 (Grande), who scratched, plus 21 (Baeza) who will now be running): All entries in post position order.

Here's last year's photo finish , and Rich Strike (80-1 longshot) winning it in 2022 and completely ruining my superfecta (first four finishers) .
