Journalism enters this year's race as the favorite, thanks in part to a four-race win streak, including an April 5 victory in the Santa Anita Derby, a come-from-behind victory that saw him make the necessary adjustments to secure the momentum-sustaining win.

Journalism, the morning-line favorite for the Kentucky Derby at 3-1 odds, will start in a tactically favorable position for race's 151st edition on Saturday.
