Kentucky Derby 2019 is only one week away, and the consensus continues to be that this is among the most wide-open races in years. So what do the current Kentucky Derby odds look like?
Horse Racing Nation released its early Kentucky Derby line as an estimate of how the public will ultimately wager. In addition, we also published Churchill Downs track announcer Travis Stone's estimate of the Kentucky Derby morning line.
Reviewing most betting sites, the consensus seems to have landed on Omaha Beach as the favorite, followed closely by the Bob Baffert-trained pair of Roadster and Game Winner. Other top contenders include Tacitus, winner of both the Tampa Bay Derby (G2) and Wood Memorial (G2), as well as Florida Derby (G1) winner Maximum Security.
The official Kentucky Derby morning line will be assigned by Churchill Downs odds maker Mike Battaglia after the race and post positions are drawn on Tuesday.
The actual pari-mutuel Kentucky Derby odds, which are most common in the US, will not be available until early wagering starts on Friday, Kentucky Oaks day. Check back with Horse Racing Nation for frequent updates on the latest Kentucky Derby odds.
