Who will win the Kentucky Derby? Expert picks

The Kentucky Derby takes place on Saturday at Churchill Downs. There is no clear favorite in the field and only three horses have single-digit odds. The weather is expected to be rainy. Katherine Terrell has a cheat sheet with her analysis of the horses and their chances to win.

Epicenter is the favorite to win the Kentucky Derby. Steve Asmussen is still looking for his first Derby win. Charge On is a 20-1 favorite. Andrew DeWitt likes Tawny Port, White Abarrio and Cyberknife. He's avoiding Taiba as he's only making his third start at the Derby and he doesn't have enough experience. The winner will be announced on the first Saturday in May. It's a big race. There's no clear-cut favorite this year. This year's winner is not Bob Baffert. His horses are Messier and Taibai.

Cyberknife is going to get some late buzz as the odds move and he looks more like a favorite. Florent Giroux is not sure if he's primed for a repeat win, but he has proven he can finish strong in a large field. Crown Pride has the No. 1 jockey in the world (Christophe Lemaire) on a horse that has a different training regimen than any other. Tawny Port is also trained by Brad Cox and has an interesting pedigree. Nando Di Fino is more into longer odds and hitting WPS bets.
