The favorite to win the Kentucky Derby 133 according to Bodog Sports is #2 Curlin with odds still at 3/1, followed by Street Sense and Circular Quay with betting odds 6/1 and 7/1 respectively. The underdogs for the Kentucky Derby appear to be Storm in May with 80/1 and Sam P. with 60/1.

Curlin is an exciting prospect trained by Steve Asmussen, has won all three of his career starts—all this year—by large margins. These include a pair of graded stakes at Oaklawn Park in which he a showed a versatile running style and a smooth way of going for such an inexperienced horse. Post Draw #2.

Circular Quay is the winner of the $600,000 Louisiana Derby (G2) on March 10 with a powerful late rally, skipped over the early April prep races to be trained up to the Derby. This will translate to an eight-week gap between his last prep race and the Kentucky Derby. That is well beyond anything seen from a Kentucky Derby winner in the past 75 years. Post Draw #15.
