In the history of the Kentucky Derby, only three jockeys have won the title four or more times. But it’s possible another rider will join that group on Saturday when the 150th running of the illustrious race will occur at Churchill Downs in Louisville. 

John Velazquez, a three-time Derby champion, will look to ride betting favourite Fierceness (5-2) to victory. Velazquez hasn’t won this race since 2020 (Authentic), but he could end his small drought in his 26th Kentucky Derby appearance. 

Or maybe one of the other 19 Jockeys will take their horse to the winner’s circle instead. There are plenty of colts in this year’s field who are legitimate contenders to capture the Derby crown.
