California Crown pulled away from the field down the stretch and easily won the Kentucky Derby by two lengths.

He was a favorite coming into the race, and he didn't disappoint.

Because of the extent of California Chrome's dominance, and the perceived weakness of the rest of the three-year-old field, there's already talk that he could win the Triple Crown.
