The event known as the "Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" is right around the corner and this year's Kentucky Derby will feature at least two powerful horses gifted enough to earn the right to be called the betting favorite. While the official favorites won't be known until Wednesday's gate draw, the 138th Kentucky Derby features Bodemeister and Union Rags, who experts expect to draw the most action before Saturday's race.
Union Rags is a three-year old Colt, who disappointed by finished in third place at the Florida Derby. The Colt will be ridden by jockey Julien Leparoux on Saturday.
