The 148th running of the Kentucky Derby will take place this Saturday at Churchill Downs.
While it's a wide open field this year, two horses — Epicenter and Zandon — stand above the rest heading into the race.

The field for the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby is officially set.

Earlier in the week, posts were drawn for this weekend's Run for the Roses, with 20 talented horses making up a field that feels pretty wide open.

Take a look below as we go post by post to give you the rundown on every horse racing this weekend at the Kentucky Derby.
