Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott would like to win a Kentucky Derby the conventional way. Five years ago, the Mott-trained Country House won the Run for the Roses, giving Mott his only Derby win. But that victory came only after Maximum Security, who crossed the finish line first that day, was famously disqualified for interference. This year, Mott will go for Derby win No. 2 with Wood Memorial winner Resilience.
