Bet the 137th Kentucky Derby at betED.comOne of the most wide-open fields in years is set to Run for the Roses in the 137th Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs.
Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, who has won the Derby with Silver Charm (1997), Real Quiet (1998) and War Emblem (2002), says he figures there are 10 horses in the 20-horse field that are capable of winning.
Kentucky Derby Odds have Dialed In as the favorite at +350, Arkansas Derby runner-up Nehro is at +800. Much Macho Man is at +1000 and Soldat, Midnight Interlude and Shackleford round out the top five at +1200.
With 19 horses entered, post position can be a key factor in winning or losing.
Dialed In, which won the Florida Derby, will start from post eight with Julien Leparoux riding for trainer Nick Zito.
Nehro, ridden by Corey Nakatani, is even further out at post 19.
Mucho Macho Man and Shackleford will be in the 13 and 14 posts, while Santa Anita Derby winner Midnight Interlude, trained by Baffert and ridden by Victor Espinoza, will be in post 15.
One longshot that will get some long looks from bettors is Sunland Derby winner Twice the Appeal, which will have three-time Derby winning jockey Calvin Borel aboard and starts from post 3.
