Baffert's 2 bullets take aim at 141 Kentucky Derby (Yahoo Sports)

FILE - In this April 28, 2015 file photo, trainer Bob Baffert watches horses workout at Churchill Downs, in Louisville, Ky. Before Baffert won the Kentucky Derby for the first time, he lost. Seize the moment is Baffert's mantra. Don't think about those glorious wins by Silver Charm in '97, Real Quiet in '98 and War Emblem in '02. And for sure, don't even mention the losses. Three of them with favorites, one by a nose, and another with the horse he calls the best he's ever trained. Of course, that tune could change by Saturday night. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File)

Bob Baffert hopes he's celebrating in the winner's circle at the Kentucky Derby. American Pharoah, owned by Egyptian Ahmed Zayat, is the early 5-2 favorite for the 141st Derby off an impressive eight-length victory in the Arkansas Derby. Dortmund is the 3-1 second choice. ''If you get beat, the fall is pretty steep.'' American Pharoah dominated his competition in the lead-up to the Derby, winning his last four races by a combined 22 1/4 lengths.
