Kentucky Derby Betting Preview
This weekend Saturday, America's Greatest Race and the most exciting two minutes in sports takes place at the Churchill Downs in Louisville Kentucky.
The post-position draw for the 2021 Kentucky Derby was executed earlier today, and now the complete set of odds for the 20 competing horses is available. BetOnline released early Kentucky Derby odds in early November, and Essential Quality was the 12/1 favorite among a limited field of projected runners.
Not much has changed except for the odds as Essential Quality remains the favorite, but this time with 5/2, or +250, odds. Hot Rod Charlie was initially installed with 25/1 odds and is now 8/1.
Another notable movement in the odds comes behind Keepmeinmind, who was the second favorite in November with 20/1 odds, now listed at 40/1.
