Editor’s Note:

Every day, from now to that glorious “First Saturday in May,” we will be providing you a “Look In” on some of this year’s top contenders for the great Thoroughbred race of all time — The Kentucky Derby.

Thanks to the fine folks — and, better yet, photographers — at Coady Media, we will have some of the best looks at, in and around all the best horses that are getting their final touches; final preps; final warmups; final tuneups; final brushes for the biggest race of their careers.

Here’s today’s looks.

Hope you enjoy.
