Kentucky Derby 2019 : Since the qualifying points system was introduced for the 2013 Kentucky Derby, betting favorites won every year after the time. Given this year’s rocky road to roses, we can see this change on May 4 in Churchill Downs. This year, 25 qualifying races were held in the USA; 23 different horses won them. Twelve of these winners will participate on Saturday. Whether it is a very good harvest of three years or very bad, is still unknown. Maybe this is just an average year, without such outstanding ones as Justify or American Pharoah or California Chrome.
