The Kentucky Derby is the biggest horse race of the year and with an expanded field of up to 20 three-year old thoroughbreds it can also be one of the toughest races to handicap. Do not let American Pharoah's dominant performance last season in this race leading to a very rare Triple Crown title fool you. The quality and depth of the field in a major stakes race like this often times give three or maybe even four horses a legitimate shot to win.
We are still two weeks out from this year's "Run for the Roses" at Churchill Downs on Saturday, May 7, so there is still plenty of time to handicap the final field, but a great starting point is to take a quick look at the recently updated futures odds to win. Nyquist is currently the favorite and this three-year old Kentucky-bred should remain at the top of the list when the actual morning line odds are released a few days before the race. A few other of the top contenders on BetOnline's Kentucky Derby futures list include Exaggerator, Mor Spirit and Destin. For a closer look at these four horses as well as a few others on the list check-out the link below for my full Kentucky Derby futures update on SBR Forum.
