They are Rock Your World at 5-1, Known Agenda at 6-1 and Hot Rod Charlie at 8-1. Saturday’s Kentucky Derby on NBC has a post time of 6:57 p.m. Eastern Time.

The 2020 Belmont Stakes winner will run out of No. 17, while Honor A.P. runs out of No. 16 and Authentic runs out of No. 18. That should make the outside of the track very interesting before the first turn, especia... 

This year’s Kentucky Derby is four months late, but that’s better than never.

Some gamblers may have short memories when it comes to the Kentucky Derby. While Tiz the Law is getting all of the headlines and public betting love the fact remains that longshots winning the Run for the Roses is not at all uncommon. Consider last year as a prime example. After a long video review history was made at the 2019 Kentucky Derby. Apparent winner Maximum Security was disqualified making 65/1 longshot Country House the winner of the Blanket of Roses. A closer look reveals that longshot winners at Churchill Downs are not at all uncommon. Mine that Bird was a 50/1 winner in 2009, Giacomo was also a 50/1 victor in 2005, while Charismatic paid at 31/1 in 1999. As crazy as 2020 has been, a longshot Derby winner would only make sense in a year that makes no sense at all. ...

The 2020 Kentucky Derby will be like no other. The 146th Run for the Roses had to adjust just like everything and everyone else in this torturous year, thus the race will take place on the first Saturday in September. And rather than being first in the run for racing’s Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby is second in the rotation.
