Horses trained by Bob Baffert dominated the West Coast Kentucky Derby prep races before last year. But with Baffert suspended from running horses at Churchill Downs, horses from other trainers out west have emerged as the leading contenders for the Run for the Roses. This year, the best in the west is Practical Move, who is trained by former Baffert protege Tim Yakteen. Practical Move is trying to become the West Coast's seventh Derby winner since 2012.
