The show is all about talking sports. The starting gate will once again be full with 20 horses for the 142nd Kentucky Derby.

Most of the 3-year-olds will be running 1¼ miles for the first time on May 7, leaving it up for grabs to see which handles the distance, track surface and traffic-choked conditions the best.

Here are five horses to watch:

EXAGGERATOR

GUN RUNNER

MOHAYMEN

MOR SPIRIT

NYQUIST
