Kentucky Derby Best Bets: Messier Provides Strong Betting Opportunity

Zandon for trainer Chad Brown is the morning-line favorite (3-1). Steve Asmussen's attempt at a first-ever Kentucky Derby victory with Epicenter (7-2) is one of the two biggest ‘losers’ of draw. Tim Yakteen”s Messier (8-3) and Zandon (10-5) are good bets.

Classic Causeway is the favorite to win the Kentucky Derby. Epicenter is second favourite. The last three post-time favorites have all been defeated. No horse has ever won the race breaking from post No. 17. Ferdinand won from the No 1 post position in 1986.

No. 6 Messier is the favorite for the Kentucky Derby. No. 10 Zandon is also a favorite. Taiba is a wild card, having upset Messer in the Santa Anita Derby in his last race. White Abarrio is an interesting horse. Chad Brown's entry is trying to hit the board for fifth straight time. Mo Donegal is not a good bet. He got the dreaded rail. Tyler Gaffalione's horse is interested. He won the Holy Bull at Gulfstream Park in February. His horse has only two lifetime races under his belt.

No. 6 Messier is the best bet for Kentucky Derby.
