Kentucky Derby 2015: Post Time, Post Positions and Full TV Coverage Info
The buildup to the 2015 Kentucky Derby has been immense, but it's nearly time to finally race.
Several changes have occurred during the days leading up to the Run for the Roses, including two horses out of the running. Both Stanford and El Kabeir are not on the entry list, as Churchill Downs PR points out:
With a field of 19 horses after a few shakeups, who will rise to capture the 141st Kentucky Derby? Will it be the favorite like the last two years or will a hero rise like Mine That Bird in 2009?
Prior to the massive event, here's a look at the full information and post positions for the Kentucky Derby.

Derby Breakdown

All of this coverage for a race that typically lasts just over two minutes? Yeah, that's the Kentucky Derby.
But with so much on the line ahead of a full Triple Crown, the 20 horses in the field all have a chance to make history.
One horse that a lot of people are paying attention to is current favorite American Pharoah. The impressive steed has even been a favorite with celebrities, as Dean Norris of Breaking Bad fame stopped to visit earlier this week:
While American Pharoah is at the top of every list, it doesn't mean this year's field isn't loaded with talent. Several undefeated horses will be lining up on the starting blocks, including Dortmund—the second horse from trainer Bob Baffert.
Even with the top two colts on the track, Baffert still has reason to worry.
"I know I have two really good horses, but there is a really tough field," Baffert said, via Gary Mihoces of USA Today.
"There are some good horses, and with 20 horses ... you need some luck. But you need a really good horse to win. ... Going in, I have two. One's undefeated; one should be undefeated. It's a good feeling to have, but there's a lot of anxiety."
Regardless of whom you're rooting for, there is plenty of suspense heading into Saturday afternoon. With so many massive sporting events going on, nothing touches the history that the Kentucky Derby touts.
