LEXINGTON, Ky. — With only one month left until the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 6 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, one horse has separated itself from the pack as a clear front-runner for this year’s Run for the Roses.
Forte — trained by Todd Pletcher and ridden by Irad Ortiz Jr. — has been nothing short of sensational in his racing career.
Forte has six wins in seven career starts, including in each of his last five races dating back to September.
