Kentucky Derby 2022 preview

This year's Kentucky Derby is at Churchill Downs. Dick Jerardi and Peter Bukowski are discussing the storylines and betting lines for the race on Friday's Locked On Today podcast.

Bob Baffert is suspended for this year's Kentucky Derby. Bafert has six Derby wins. Medina Spirit tested positive for banned substances. The suspension runs through early June. Jerardi went by B Afferent's barn yesterday and it was a ghost town.

Zandor and Epicenter are the betting favorites to win the 148th Kentucky Derby.

Epicenter is the favorite for the Kentucky Derby 2022. American Pharaoh was the favourite in 2015 and Justify in 2018.

The 148th Kentucky Derby is set for Saturday, May 7, 2022 on NBC. Coverage begins at 2:30 p.m. ET. The favorite has won 51 of 146 races. Country House was the big recent underdog to win at 30 to 1 in 2019. I'll Have Another was 15 to1 in 2012 and Animal Kingdom was 21 to one in 2011. Crown Pride is a Japanese horse that is flying under the radar.
