Doug O’Neill
This Michigan born, California based horse trainer is the last trainer to have an upset win in the Kentucky Derby. O’Neill was the trainer of I’ll Have Another which won the Derby at 20/1 odds. You’ll also remember that O’Neill was the trainer of Nyquist who won the Derby a few years ago. If O’Neill has a horse or two in the Kentucky Derby this year, his stable is always able to pull off the big win.
Todd Pletcher
Before Todd Pletcher won the Derby with Always Dreaming back in 2017, many horse bettors didn’t think that Pletcher had what it takes win the big race. Pletcher was the trainer of Super Saver but many horse racing fans thought that Pletcher could have been a one-hit wonder trainer.
