The “Colts” may be popular in Indianapolis; but different kinds of horses will bring more than 150,000 fans to Louisville this weekend. The Kentucky Derby is Saturday at Churchill Downs. As of Wednesday morning, the early favorites were Classic Empire at four-to-one odds — and Always Dreaming and McCraken at five-to-one odds. More than $200 million dollars is expected to be wagered on this year’s race.
