A sheikh from Dubai and a late Saudi prince are adding a touch of royalty to the Kentucky Derby. Godolphin founder Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has been chasing a Derby victory for decades. He is 0-for-11 in the race, but has the early favorite in undefeated Essential Quality. Saudi Prince Khalid bin Abdullah died in January with an 0-for-5 Derby mark. But his Juddmonte Farms will be represented by Mandaloun. Both Essential Quality and Mandaloun are trained by Brad Cox, who would be the first Louisville-born trainer to win the Derby.
