This year's Kentucky Derby has a couple of leaders at the front of the pack and then several other horses that seem to be in a large group. Frammento is one of the 2015 Kentucky Derby Longshots. The Kentucky Derby will begin at 6:24pm EST Saturday from Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
Trainer: Nick Zitto
Jockey: Corey Nakatani
Morning Line Odds: 50-1
Frammento got into the Kentucky Derby after Stanford was scratched from the race. The Nick Zito-trained horse will look to become the third Derby winner, joining Strike the Gold from 1991 and Go For Gin in 1994.
Jockey Corey Nakatani took second place in his best Derby finish, aboard Nehro at Kentucky Derby 137, the hockey's 15th appearance in the Derby.
Frammento has raced three times already this season, but has not been exceptional, taking no better than third in the Besilu Stables Fountain of Youth in February.
