No. 2 Irish War Cry
Odds: 6-1
Jockey: Rajiv Maragh
Trainer: H. Graham Motion
Outlook: Irish War Cry has won four of his last five races. The one outlier was a puzzling 7th place finish in the Fountain of Youth. His most recent win came in early-April at the Wood Memorial and he also won the Holy Bull. Irish War Cry is one of the fastest horses in this year's race. Here's how his fastest times score out in the various systems: 101 (Beyer Speed Figure), 102 (Bris Speed Ratings) and 118 (Timeform US). Trainer H. Graham Motion knows what it is like to train a winning Derby horse. He won in 2011 with Animal Kingdom and is hoping for a repeat performance in 2017. (Getty)
