Final Predictions

Drawn on the rail, War of Will has little choice but to surge for the lead immediately to avoid getting trapped. Not since Ferdinand in 1986 has the inside gate won the Kentucky Derby.

Good thing War of Will is known for early speed, right?

The colt should be among the leaders at the clubhouse turn, provided it avoids a slip―something that unfortunately happened when running from Post 6 at the Louisiana Derby. Moving over to Post 2 following the scratches of Omaha Beach and Haikel should give him a little more space too.

Vekoma (Post 7) and Maximum Security (8) figure to be alongside in the early moments. Spinoff (18) and Bodexpress (20) may attempt to charge, though it'll be a decent challenge from their spots.

As usual, the backstretch will provide a few key changes.

Race favorites Game Winner (15) and Roadster (16) will likely tuck inside because of their post positions. They should be near Tacitus (9) after the William Mott-trained horse swiftly heads to the rail when Vekoma and Maximum Security charge out of the gate.

Then, it'll be a matter of closing speed, which is where Code of Honor (12) and Win Win Win (13) could shine.

By that time, however, the favorites should be tucked in a good spot. Roadster, Game Winner and stablemate Improbable―all trained by Bob Baffert, who is eyeing a record-tying sixth Derby victory―will highlight a close race on the final quarter mile.

Baffert will earn that momentous triumph thanks to Game Winner―an aptly named horse for this occasion.
