King Guillermo has a fever and has been scratched from the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Former major league All-Star Victor Martinez is part owner of the horse that won the Tampa Bay Derby in March. Belmont winner Tiz the Law is the overwhelming betting favorite. There will be no Churchill Downs spectators for the Run for the Roses.
Meanwhile, the Kentucky Oaks, the race for three year old fillies takes place today at Churchill Downs.
