20 horses will take to the track on Saturday, with the winner taking home well over a million dollars in addition to their prize of potential immortality.
The race for the Triple Crown begins this Saturday at Churchill Downs with the running of the Kentucky Derby.
20 horses will take to the track in the “R un for the Roses,” with the winner taking home well over a million dollars in addition to their prize of potential immortality should they go on to win the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness to complete the Triple Crown.
On Tuesday, post positions for the race were drawn. Last year, Always Dreaming won out of post five, and horses closer to the rail have performed better historically than those forced to start from the outside, but winners have come from all across the track.
Below you’ll find the post position and odds for every horse in the 2018 Kentucky Derby. Odds were set by Mike Battaglia, who has established the morning line for the Kentucky Derby since 1975 and will change as bets begin to come in on the field.
