Kentucky Derby Betting Odds: Favorites & Longshots Worth A Wager

Derby day has arrived. The 148th Kentucky Derby will take place at 6:57 p.m. ET. BetOnline oddsmaker Adam Burns shares the betting odds for the race. Messier is the biggest liability for Bet Online. He has taken more money and bets than any other horse in the field. He hopes that the action is driven by NHL fans hyped up with the recent start of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Epicenter and Zandon are the favorite horses for the Kentucky Derby. Messier is a product of trainer Bob Baffert. B Affert is suspended from racing. Tim Yakteen took over training for Taiba, who won the Santa Anita Derby last month.  The pair sit at +700 odds. The odds are increasing for bettors. They are also increasing in value. It is possible that the 2018 Kentucky derby winner Mike E. Smith could win the race.

Cyberknife is a longshot at +2000. Cyberknock won the Arkansas Derby at 2. He is considered immature at the start of his career, but his performance at Arkansas proved that he has the poise and speed needed to win in this setting.
