Qualification

The Kentucky Derby is a race for 3-year-old Thoroughbred horses. The 2015 field will be determined by a points system that was introduced in 2013.[3]

Field

The Post Position Draw of the entries for the Kentucky Derby was held Wednesday, April 29, 2015 at the Churchill Downs Racetrack clubhouse[4] and the Arkansas Derby winner American Pharoah was installed as the 5-2 morning line favorite.[5] The day after the draw, Todd Pletcher scratched Stanford, stating that the horse was "fine," but they were not pleased with the draw and had been "on the fence" about running in the Derby.[6] On May 1, El Kabeir was scratched.[7]
