Churchill Downs has hosted the Kentucky Derby since 1875. The 2021 race is on the first Saturday in May at 6:57 p.m. ET. Essential Quality and Rock Your World are the favorites in the 2021 Kentucky derby odds. Legendary handicapper Hammerin' Hank Goldberg has made some great bets on horse racing. He won $24,000 at the Belmont Stakes in 2004. He also won a lot of money at other races. His picks have been very successful. For the 2020 KentuckyDerby, 19 horses will be entered.

Rock Your World won the Santa Anita Derby. Mandaloun finished sixth in the Louisiana Derby despite winning the Risen Star Stakes. Goldberg is high on Mandaloung, even though he's a big 15-1 long shot. He believes Mandalun will be competitive breaking from the No. 7 post. The winner of the Kentucky Derby is announced on May 25. It will take place at Churchill Downs. For more information, visit the official KentuckyDerby website.
