With last year’s triple crown, legendary trainer Bob Baffert became only the second person to accomplish the feat twice. The five-time Derby winner has three chances to add to his total this year with Improbable, Roadster and Game Winner all in the 20-horse field. While there’s no questioning Baffert’s legacy, being the first to capture three triple crowns would cement him as the best trainer in the sport’s history.
Fate might be on the 66-year-old’s side this year. Entering the week, Omaha Beach, trained by Richard Mandella, was the betting favorite at 4-1. Each of the last six races have been won by the favorites. However, Omaha Beach has been scratched from the race with a trapped epiglottis, limiting his ability to breathe. This leaves Baffert’s trio as the top three favorites: Game Winner (9-2), Roadster (5-1) and Improbable (5-1).
The two horses who round out the top five betting favorites (Maximum Security 8-1, Tacitus 8-1) are both trained by trainers who haven’t won this race before. While the signs point to Baffert capturing his sixth Derby crown, there’s always a chance for a surprise, even if history doesn’t say so.

Cowan (Kantharos - Tempers Flair, by Smart Strike) put forth an excellent effort in the $1.5million Saudi Derby. The Steve Asmussen trainee was left at the gate,breaking last in the one-turn mile event. He raced 10 lengths off the lead, wentfive wide on the turn and stormed down the long stretch, missing victory by ahalf-length. Cowan has a severe case of seconditis; the Saudi Derby was the fifth consecutive time he played the bridesmaid.
Cowan has an 8:1-5-1 ($665,877)record. He earned eight KentuckyDerby qualifying points for his finishes in the Remington SpringboardMile and Smarty JonesStakes, both listed events. Cowan was hissire’s leading earner in 2020.
Bred by Hill 'n' Dale EquineHoldings, Cowan went through the sales ring twice; onceas a Keeneland September Yearling, where he brought $185,000 from Bill& Corinne Heiligbrodt, and the following year, he didn’t meet his $385,000reserve at the OBS March 2-year-old in training auction. The Heiligbrodts keptCowan, and he races in their silks.
Cowan is nominated to both the$750,000 UAE Derby (G2) over 1,900 meters (about 1 3/16 miles) and $1 millionAl Quoz Sprint (G1) over 1,200 meters (about six furlongs) against older horses. The UAEDerby, scheduled for March 27, offers 100-40-20-10 Kentucky Derbyqualifying points to the top four finishers.
Pedigree: Cowan has a miler pedigree, and 1 1/16 milesmight be as far as he’ll want to go. Although with closing running style, perhapshe can finish in the money at 1 1/8 miles with maturity and the right surface. He’s proficient over dirt and turf. Often,horses can go farther over the lawn than on dirt. See pedigreechart.
Kantharos was brilliant but fragile.He won his trio of starts by a combined 28 1/2 lengths. After graduating atfirst asking by 11 3/4 lengths, Lion Heart's son returned in the 2010 BashfordManor (G3). Despite stumbling at the break, Kantharos won by 9 1/2 lengths,which is still the largest winning margin in the race’s history. The SaratogaSpecial (G2) was the Steve Asmussen trainee’s final race, which he captured by7 1/4 lengths.
Kantharos suffered acareer-ending leg fracture during a morning gallop a few weeks later and retiredto Ocala Stud in Florida. His brilliance didn’t end on thetrack. He earned Leading Sire honors by earnings in 2016, getting 26winners and four stakes winners. It made the Kentucky folk sit up and takenotice, and Kantharos earned his ticket to Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms, where he standsfor $30,000.
Kantharos’ offspring are brilliant, are proficient on everysurface and improve with maturity, but they are distance challenged.
