Baffert’s 2 bullets take aim at 141 Kentucky Derby (The Associated Press)
Bob Baffert hopes he’s celebrating in the winner’s circle at the Kentucky Derby. American Pharoah, owned by Egyptian Ahmed Zayat, is the early 5-2 favorite for the 141st Derby off an impressive eight-length victory in the Arkansas Derby. Dortmund is the 3-1 second choice. ”If you get beat, the fall is pretty steep.” American Pharoah dominated his competition in the lead-up to the Derby, winning his last four races by a combined 22 1/4 lengths.
