Kentucky Derby horse-by-horse analysis 2019

A look at each horse in the 2019 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, listed in post position order.

1. WAR OF WILL

Trainer: Mark Casse

Jockey: Tyler Gaffalione

Record: 8-3-1-1

Last 3: 9-1-1

Post: 1

Odds: 20-1

Was No. 1 on some Derby lists before flopping in the Louisiana Derby, finishing ninth as the 4-5 favorite after stumbling badly when the ground broke out from under him a few strides out of the gate. Falls short on speed figures, and never faced the 3-year-old heavyweights. Post 1 is winless since 1986, and he won't end that drought.
