Notable: Carla Gaines has never had a Derby starter. The best Derby finish by a female trainer is Casual Lies' second in 1992 for Shelley Riley. Former Churchill Downs leading rider Bejarano's best finish from nine prior mounts is fourth.
While several female trainers have gotten horses to the Derby field, Ritvo relished her horse Mucho Macho Man's third-place finish. Only one other female trainer, Shelley Riley, has seen a higher finish when her horse Casual Lies finished second in 1992.
