Yet Another New Kentucky Derby Favorite
Scott Morris | April 12, 2018
As the 144th Kentucky Derby approaches, the oddsmakers and the betting public are wrestling with which horse should be the odds on favorite. It seems every week there is a new favorite, and this week is no different. After posting last week that Mendelssohn was the newest favorite, we turn the page to this week where a horse named Justify has become the new overall favorite.
The horse has attracted the attention of bettors after winning Saturday’s Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby. Justify is a Bob-Baffert trained colt. He won this weekend’s race over former favorite Bolt d’Oro by three lengths (approx. 24 feet).
You can see the video below of the Santa Anita Derby. Below the video we have the latest odds posted for the Kentucky Derby. Odds are subject to change over time.
Another horse, Good Magic, won the G2 Blue Grass Stakes and a result got his odds shortened from +1600 to just +645. The Kentucky Derby is in 23 days from today. Make sure to register now to be ready for the biggest horse race of the year. Here are the newly refreshed odds:
