Kentucky Derby Odds, Post Positions and Horses (Renegade Set as Betting Favorite)

Everyone’s favorite weekend to wear festive hats and pretend they like mint juleps while they pontificate on the beauty of horse racing has arrived. It’s Kentucky Derby week.

Having attended the Kentucky Derby once and hit the winning horse (Animal Kingdom at 30/1), I have no qualms proclaiming myself a foremost expert on the subject of horse racing and, more so, picking winners. People forget I also hit Birdstone live at the 2004 Belmont Stakes.

But enough about me and my illustrious horse racing wins of decades past. The people want to know about this race. I’m here to provide the fodder.

No, I’m not giving out betting picks yet. You’ll have to wait until later this week. Instead, here are the post positions and odds for every horse racing in this weekend’s event.

One early note is that Silent Tactic, who was 20/1, was scratched from the race. Great White takes his spot and moves to the end post position.

On the opposite side, the betting favorite, Renegade, drew the rail position at post 1. Infamously, no horse has won from the rail post since Ferdinand in 1986. In total, eight horses have won from the 1 hole.

The 152nd Kentucky Derby is set to run at 6:57 p.m. ET Saturday from Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

All odds are via FanDuel, though Bet365 might have the best horse racing promo right now.
