LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY - A full-field of 20 horses is entered for the 131st running of Kentucky Derby.<br>
<br>
Yankee owner George Steinbrenner's horse ``Bellamy Road'' is expected to be installed as the morning line favorite.<br>
<br>
The horse is trained by Nick Zito who's bidding for his third Derby win. He has four other horses in the Derby - ``High Fly'', ``Noble Causeway'', ``Sun King'' and ``Andromeda's Hero.''<br>
<br>
The only other trainer to send out five starters in one Derby was D. Wayne Lukas, who did it in 1996 and won with ``Grindstone.''
