The 2011 Kentucky Derby – Dialed In's the Favorite

Zipse’s Kentucky Derby Daily – Day 18

With only 18 days until the big day, I offer my current projection on how the 20 horse field for this year’s Kentucky Derby will look including their odds. These odds are only how I believe they will be bet and have no relation to my own choices. A handful of horses on this list still may not go, including Uncle Mo, The Factor, Santiva, Animal Kingdom, and J P’s Gusto. So horses like Silver Medallion, Watch Me Go, Shackleford, Twinspired, and Anthony’s Cross can still earn a birth to the big show, but as it stands today …
