Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Speedway, Ind.) Bring on May. The greatest month for racing in Indianapolis is upon us. It brings excitement and pageantry to a city known as the "Crossroads of America." The road is moving fast toward the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 (May 24, 12:45 p.m. ET on FOX). Heres a primer to get you up to speed in what will be an eventful month of racing action: What is the first race? The first race at the speedway is technically a foot race the annual Indianapolis mini-marathon, which will run Saturday (May 2) and includes the 2.5-mile oval as part of the course. What is the first car race? The month opens on May 9 with the Indianapolis Grand Prix, an 85-lap race on the 2.439-mile, 14-turn road course that utilizes much of the frontstretch and parts of the backstretch and Turns 1-2. The cars go the opposite direction than what they do in the Indianapolis 500. Why the road-course race? Its twofold. When INDYCAR needed races, this was an easy race to add as the course was already constructed for Formula 1. And practice and qualifying for the Indy 500 used to last two weeks there were two qualifying weekends consisting of two days apiece but that was condensed to one week of practice and qualifying and then race week. For those used to a full month of activity at the track, the Grand Prix weekend provides just that. So how many days are drivers on track? INDYCAR drivers will practice and qualify for the Grand Prix on Friday, May 8 with the race the next day. The facility will take two days to convert from the road course to the oval configuration with Indy 500 practice days on May 12, 13, 14 and 15, and then qualification days on May 16 and 17 (the pole will be determined May 16). Then there will be practice May 18, a short "Carb Day" practice (along with the pit-stop competition and the Wienie 500) on May 22 and then the 500-mile race on May 24th. Do the same drivers compete in both the Grand Prix and the 500? There are 25 full-time drivers (with car numbers) who will compete in the Grand Prix and then an additional eight drivers for the 500. The 25 full-time drivers: 2-Josef Newgarden, 3-Scott McLaughlin, 4-Caio Collet, 5-Pato OWard, 6-Nolan Siegel, 7-Christian Lundgaard, 8-Kyffin Simpson, 9-Scott Dixon, 10-Alex Palou, 12-David Malukas, 14-Santino Ferrucci, 15-Graham Rahal, 18-Romain Grosjean, 19-Dennis Hauger, 20-Alexander Rossi, 21-Christian Rasmussen, 26-Will Power, 27-Kyle Kirkwood, 28-Marcus Ericsson, 45-Louis Foster, 47-Mick Schumacher, 60-Marcus Armstrong, 66-Felix Rosenqvist, 76-Rinus VeeKay and 77-Sting Ray Robb. The eight drivers doing solely the Indy 500: 06-Helio Castroneves, 11-Katherine Legge, 23-Conor Daly, 24-Jack Harvey, 31-Ryan Hunter-Reay, 33-Ed Carpenter, 51-Jacob Abel, and 75-Takuma Sato. [INDYCAR POWER RANKINGS: Alex Palou Remains In Familiar Spot] Is there anything new with the track? The speedway removed and resurfaced an area between Turns 1 and 2 where a bump had started to impact the way the cars handle. Drivers reported no issues with the area during tests last fall nor during the open test on April 28-29. What was learned at the open test? It was learned that most drivers and teams seem relatively calm. There wasnt much angst as they went through their testing plans. No cars hit the wall. With only five sets of tires, they could take their time and make adjustments when necessary. Daly and Harvey, driving for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, showed speed for a team that only does the Indy 500. A.J. Foyt Racing rookie Caio Collet was the fastest overall. As two-time Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden said in a team news release after the test: "This is just the first step towards coming back here next month and trying to win another Indianapolis 500. Wheres NASCAR champion Kyle Larson? Hes not here. There are no drivers competing in both the Indianapolis 500 and NASCARs Coca-Cola 600 this year as Larson attempted the past two years. Who is playing the concerts? Oh yes, the concerts. On Carb Day, Counting Crows and Switchfoot will take the stage. On race day, the Snake Pit concert will feature artist Zedd, joined by Crankdat, Wooli, its murph and Wax Motif. [INSIDE THE GARAGE: Attention Shifts to Upcoming Indy 500] Whats the vibe? The vibe is great. The track anticipates announcing a sellout within a week. The only thing different from last year is that the 500 isnt sharing the stage with an Indiana Pacers team making a playoff run. Those hopes were dashed probably before the INDYCAR season began in March. Speaking of the season, is Alex Palou still the man to beat? Yes, Palou is still the man to beat. Palou, who has four INDYCAR titles including the last three, has won three of the five INDYCAR races this year, leads the point standings and is the defending Indy 500 winner. So is Palou going to win? This is the Indy 500. Its unpredictable. Its ruthless. And its exhausting. The buildup has begun as the monthly calendar flips. Its the Month of May.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have three players that ESPN put in one of its way-too-early mock drafts for 2027.Those players are quarterback CJ Carr, cornerback Leonard Moore and safety Tae Johnson.The mock has CJ Carr going fourth to the Cleveland Browns, based on Carr continuing the growth he showed as a freshman in 2025. Carr would be the third quarterback taken, behind Arch Manning and Dante Moore.It also has Leonard Moore going eighth to the Carolina Panthers, which would make him the first defensive player taken.Finally, the mock has Johnson going to the San Francisco 49ers at 27th.All three players are underclassmen, and Notre Dame fans worried that talent like Carr might leave after this season have to remember that this is just a mock draft set up a year out. No one knows how the NFL teams will finish in the standings, thus changing the draft order, and players might choose to remain in college anyway. So there's no reason to take this too seriously -- although you can get a sense of what pundits and analysts think of key Notre Dame players.Already looking ahead to the 2027 NFL draft? @Jordan_Reid has you covered with a way too early mock draft: https://t.co/Yd226ILMcQpic.twitter.com/6kFITbRoRF ESPN (@espn) April 30, 2026Contact/Follow us@IrishWireNDon X (formerly Twitter) and like our page onFacebookto follow ongoing coverage of Notre Dame news, notes and opinions.Follow Tim on X:@tehealeyThis article originally appeared on Fighting Irish Wire: Notre Dame has three players on ESPN 2027 mock NFL draft.

Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. 1. Renegade: 4/1 (bet $10 to win $50 total)Trainer: Todd PletcherJockey: Irad Ortiz Jr. Im in a strange spot with the Derby favorite. I have a nice future ticket on him and now that the race is here, I dont plan on using him in the winning spot on any other tickets. So if he wins, great. If my handicapping here is correct, and hes a non-factor, thats great too. Hes won both of his races as a 3-year-old. However, the reports of sore feet do not inspire a lot of confidence. Neither does the rail draw, for which I have some stats further down in the column. While it's true being a closer does mitigate some of the concerns with the rail, the fact is this horse might not be fast enough. His winning figures in the Arkansas Derby and Sam F Davis are below what Chief Wallabee, Further Ado and Commandment are running. Remember too, it's not like trainer Todd Pletcher has had a ton of success here either more on that further in this column, too. While it is also true Irad Ortiz Jr. probably had his choice of mounts in this race and chose Renegade, it just feels like there are way too many "ifs" involved here. If he breaks, if his feet are OK, if he can get a trip, etc. I actually think he will not go favored Saturday and, despite being an overlay in the wagering, Im still standing against. 2. Albus: 30/1 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Trainer: Riley MottJockey: Manny Franco The longer shot of the two Riley Mott runners in here and deservedly so. Won a very weak Wood Memorial at 12-1 from way off the pace and being sired by Yaupon, I would be absolutely stunned if this one was anywhere near a superfecta finish, as 1 1/4 miles does not appear to be in his bloodlines. 3. Intrepido: 50/1 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Trainer: Jeff MullinsJockey: Hector Berrios Just worked an insanely fast four furlongs in 45 seconds and trainer Jeff Mullins was none too happy about it. Still, Ill include this one underneath on my trifectas and superfectas, as hes shown some staying power to carry on and stay off the pace. That will serve him well here, so long as that last workout didnt gas him. 4. Litmus Test: 50/1 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Trainer: Bob BaffertJockey: Martin Garcia Was favored against Silent Tactic in the Rebel and only 9/2 against Renegade in the Arkansas Derby, and was nowhere to be found in either. Baffert, blinkers, Martin Garcia we all know what the plan is here. There will be some that dont want to toss a Baffert speed horse and I get it. But this $875k purchase does not pass the litmus test. Ill show myself out. He will not be on my tickets. 5. Right to Party: 30/1 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Trainer: Ken McPeekJockey: Chris Elliott Ive heard this one does not look very good on the track, which checks with him not looking good on paper either. He's in the race because he got up for second in that poor Wood Memorial I mentioned above. Ken McPeek has won some Triple Crown races with long shots, but this wont be another one of them. 6. Commandment: 6/1 (bet $10 to win $70 total)Trainer: Brad CoxJockey: Luis Saez Comes into the race off consecutive wins in the two best preps this year. Both were in get-up late fashion over horses he will face again here. That raises a question whether he will have as fortunate a trip here to get some good luck and win given his running style. One could also argue hes the most consistent runner here and the most likely to hit the board. Then there are some whispers hes been a little sluggish lately. Read the workout reports, watch the works and form your own guess based on all the info. Hell be on my ticket though, as he hasnt run a bad one. 7. Danon Bourbon: 20/1 (bet $10 to win $210 total)Trainer: Manabu IkezoeJockey: Atsuya Nishamura While none of the Japanese runners here have ever really wowed us with a pre-Derby work, his Tuesday work was really slow and ugly looking. Hes won all three races in Japan by margin but that wont be the case here. Ill be leaving off. 8. So Happy: 15/1 (bet $10 to win $160 total)Trainer: Mark GlattJockey: Mike Smith The feel good story of the race. If youre rooting for a horse based on a human interest story, then this is your horse. Named by trainer Mark Glatts late wife, So Happy broke maiden at 38-1 and won the Santa Anita Derby at 7-1, beating Potente to give Glatt his first Derby starter. Id be surprised if So Happy found the winners circle here, though. Runhappy progeny probably do not want to go 1 1/4 miles, but if he happens to win, there won't be many dry eyes at the track. 9. The Puma: 10/1 (bet $10 to win $110 total)Trainer: Gustavo DelgadoJockey: Javier Castellano Im struggling here. The rumored purchase of an interest in the horse by Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift means the price here is going to be seriously slashed. And that isnt the type of play Im looking to make on Derby Day in a 20-horse field. However, the horse does figure. Lost a bob to Commandment in the Florida Derby, beat Further Ado in Tampa and was favored in his debut against Chief Wallabee. Connections won the Derby with Mage. Running style profiles of that as a winning-type. Being by Essential Quality, The Puma should be able to handle the extra distance. Then you look at the flip side among a couple of those arguments for. The win over Further Ado at Tampa came with Further Ado making his first start off a three-month layoff, and he likely needed the race. While favored over Chief Wallabee in that maiden race where both were making their debut. And Chief Wallabee still won the race quite handily and Bill Mott rarely has a horse cranked to win first out.He was beaten handily by Renegade in the Sam Davis. Ill probably let the board decide how involved I get here. Can he win? Absolutely. Will there be fair odds? Absolutely not. But if youre keying on top in exotics and get a couple of prices underneath, then youre in business. Ill likely be defensively using, but the Swiftie bandwagon definitely has the handicapper in me on the fence. 10. Wonder Dean: 30/1 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Trainer: Daisuke TakayanagiJockey: Ryusei Sakai UAE Derby winner is overmatched here and will not be on my tickets. Until one beats me, I will be standing against the Japan imports in the Derby. 11. Incredibolt: 20/1 (bet $10 to win $210 total)Trainer: Riley MottJockey: Jaime Torres Has won both of his career races at Churchill Downs, including the Grade 3 Street Sense. Was 4-1 in the Holy Bull at Gulfstream but did nothing that day. Maybe he didn't like the track, maybe he needed the race. Whatever the reason, he bounced back with a big effort in the Virginia Derby, drawing off in the stretch. Was it rail aided? Possibly. His pedigree doesnt scream distance, but he finishes well and has the look of a long-shot youll want on your tickets. 12. Chief Wallabee: 8/1 (bet $10 to win $90 total)Trainer: Bill MottJockey: Junior Alvarado I think hes the best horse in the race. Won at first asking for Bill Mott and Bill Mott rarely wins with a horse making its debut. He beat The Puma in that race, by the way. Just missed in the Fountain of Youth, losing by a neck to Commandment, then ran an early identical race in the Florida Derby, losing basically a blanket finish. I was a little concerned about adding blinkers, but Ill trust Bill Motts judgment, as this will likely keep him focused and not dissuaded from running in tight quarters. He is absolutely "one of the ones" you want prominently on your ticket, as Bill Mott and Junior Alvarado are looking to win their third Triple Crown race in the last four. 14. Potente: 20/1 (bet $10 to win $210 total)Trainer: Bob BaffertJockey: Juan Hernandez First thing that caught my eye was $2.4 million for this one. Yeesh steep. But it's not my money, thankfully!Beaten favorite in the Santa Anita Derby is making a big step up from what hes been facing in California and being by Into Mischief, he looks like hes stuck in between being a seven-furlong specialist and a 1 1/16 horse. Another one I cant quite get behind. 15. Emerging Market: 15/1 (bet $10 to win $160 total)Trainer: Chad BrownJockey: Flavien Prat Hes looking to give Chad Brown his first Derby win in just his third lifetime start. He broke maiden on Feb. 7, won the Louisiana Derby and has been pointing to this for six weeks. History is against him, but I think hes sitting on a massive effort here. Not only does he have a jockey that always manages to find a good trip and placing in the Derby/Triple Crown race, his progression pattern leads me to believe this will be his best race yet.He ran huge in his debut, beating a highly thought of horse named Powershift and then, despite seeing his Beyer speed figure fall seven points in his first race against winners in the Louisiana Derby, he managed to get the win. Id expect he could land in the 100 Beyer range here if he gets a trip and that puts him right in it. He also profiles to have the running style of the winner just off the pace, but not a complete closer. 16. Pavlovian: 30/1 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Trainer: Doug ONeillJockey: Edwin Maldonado Front-running Cal-bred has zero shot. I know some will make the case that he nearly stole the Louisiana Derby at 22-1, but hes gotta carry his speed another 1/16 of a mile against a field twice that side and much deeper. 17. Six Speed: 50/1 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Trainer: Bhupat SeamerJockey: Brian Hernandez Jr. Another front-runner who draws into the race off a second-place finish in the UAE Derby. Ill be rooting for co-owners Jake Ballis and Reagan Swinbank to enjoy the walkover and the day, but I cant see this one being around when the real running begins. 18. Further Ado: 6/1 (bet $10 to win $70 total)Trainer: Brad CoxJockey: John Velazquez The question one needs to ask themselves when it comes to Further Ado is whether you think Further Ado is simply a Keeneland freak. His two best races by far have come at Keeneland, but he also won the G2 Jockey Club over the Churchill surface. Was beaten by The Puma in Tampa, but theres every reason to believe he needed that race. Is he a bounce candidate off the big figure at KEE? Possibly, but a month off should be enough time to be ready here. Hes versatile, and I believe I've landed on him as the most likely winner from the Cox barn. 19. Golden Tempo: 30/1 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Trainer: Cherie DeVauxJockey: Jose Ortiz Its easy to root for trainer Cherie DeVaux and racing royalty Phipps Stable, who owns Golden Temp. Homebred should be able to run all day with Curlin/Bernardini bloodlines, but the lack of speed worries me. Jockey Jose Ortiz is going to need everything to go right trip-wise to win from way off the pace. Among the long shots in the race, this one appears to be the "livest of the live," and while I think an underneath finish is the most likely ceiling here, a win isnt out of the question. Check out the Louisiana Derby, where he didnt have the best start, the speed didnt back up and was only beaten a length. Would be an extremely popular and rewarding at the window - winner. Does have some concerns, though with "cracked feet" as theyve been called. 21. Great White: 50/1 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Trainer: John EnnisJockey: Alex Achard Upset winner of the Battaglia on the synthetic was nowhere to be found in the Blue Grass vs. Further Ado, and hell be nowhere to be found here either. 22. Ocelli: 50/1 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Trainer: Joseph RamosJockey: Whit Beckman Lol.

Most ran pretty much to their rank on the oddsboard. Odds Rank/Finish 2025 Citizen Bull 7th/15th2024 Dornoch9th/10th2023 Hit Show 11th/5th2022 Mo Donegal 5th/5th2021 Known Agenda 4th/8th2020 Max Player6th/5th The last time a top-three choice broke from the rail was 2010, when Lookin At Lucky went favored and finished sixth. The last time a top-three choice broke from the rail and hit the board was 1974, when Agitate finished third. The last time a top-three choice broke from the rail and won was Needles in 1956. The last horse to hit the board after breaking from the rail was Lookin at Lee - 2nd at 33-1 in 2017. Thats the only ITM finish by a horse that broke from the rail in the last 37 years. The last horse to win after breaking from the rail - Ferdinand at 18-1 in 1986. Pletcher's Derby Problems Since Always Dreaming won the Derby in 2017, only one of Todd Pletchers 17 Derby starters hit the board Audible, third in 2018. Seven of those 17 starters were among the top-five betting choices in the field. Pletcher has had 13 Derby starters sent off as a top-three betting choice. Two have won (Super Saver, Always Dreaming), three have finished third (Impeachment, Revolutionary Danza) and seven have finished 10th or worse. Pletcher did not have a starter in the Derby last year. Favorites Have Run Well, But Not Won Lately Favorites have finished in the money in 18 of the last 19 Triple Crown Races (four wins, nine seconds, five thirds). The one that didnt Fierceness, who finished 15th in the 2024 Kentucky Derby. If you limit it to the Kentucky Derby, favorites have finished in the money in 12 of the last 14 Kentucky Derbies (six wins, four seconds, two thirds), with Fierceness in 2024 and Improbable in 2019 the omissions. The last eight Triple Crown races have been formful from a trifecta standpoint. Of the 24 runners that occupied the trifecta spots, 18 were among the top-three betting choices on the board. However, weve still seen big payouts, as five of the last nine Triple Crown races were won by a horse that was at least the 5th betting choice. Since a run of six straight winning Derby favorites from 2013-2018, none of the official Derby winners was better than the third choice. In that span, the longest shot on the board (Rich Strike) and 18th betting choice (Country House) have won the race.

Only once has he finished worse than fourth, and that was with his second Triple Crown mount Solomini. His 16 mounts have resulted in two wins, two seconds, seven thirds and four fourth-place finishes. If you limit it to the Derby, it's a win, one second, four thirds and a fourth from eight mounts. Anyone care to wheel Emerging Market, who is 15-1 on the moneyline, in the superfecta? Odds and Ends The second choice in the wagering hasnt won since Super Saver in 2010. The fourth choice in the wagering hasnt won since Grindstone in 1996 Irad Ortiz Jr. has never hit the board from his nine Derby mounts. His best finish is fourth aboard the 2019 favorite Improbable. Since winning his third Derby aboard Authentic in 2020, John Velazquez's last four mounts have finished 15th, 13th, 15th and 19th. Each of them were among the top-seven betting choices. Mike Smith will be making his 69th career Triple Crown mount aboard So Happy. Smith last hit the board in a Triple Crown race when Justify crossed the wire first in the 2018 Belmont Stakes to win the Triple Crown.
