West Saratoga Horse Trainer and Jockey

West Saratoga has feel-good connections as trainer Larry Demeritte makes his Kentucky Derby debut.

Jockey Jesus Castanon rode Shackleford to a Preakness win in 2011 and a fourth-place finish in the Kentucky Derby that year, as well.

West Saratoga Race History

West Saratoga's 10 races are three more than any qualified horse in the field other than Just Steel's 11. Just two wins came from the 10 starts -- but he finished in the money eight times. One of the wins did come at Churchill Downs, however: Iroquois Stakes (Gr. 3).

West Saratoga Kentucky Derby Prediction and Pick

West Saratoga's eight top-three finishes are more than any horse in the field, but his average Speed Score of 80.6 bests only Society Man's 77.2 among the 18 qualified horses in the field with Speed Score data.

Despite racing volume, West Saratoga is also one of eight qualified horses in the field not to have recorded a Speed Score of at least 100 in a single race.
