 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - With five horses in the field, trainer Nick Zito has every reason to believe he's about to win his third Kentucky Derby. "If we don't get No. 3 now, then I'll have to have Secretariat himself," Zito said Sunday outside his barn at Churchill Downs. "There's no question. I can't ask the man upstairs to give me a better a shot at this. If it happens, it happens."
Wood Memorial winner Bellamy Road tops Zito's hit parade of 3-year-olds, which also includes Florida Derby winner and runner-up, High Fly and Noble Causeway, Tampa Bay Derby winner Sun King and Andromeda's Hero, third in the Arkansas Derby.
"But this is a game that humbles kings," he added. "If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, and we'll keep trying. Hopefully, one of these five will get over the line."
