Horses, Jockeys, and Trainers
Odds to Win
The 2024 Kentucky Derby futures pools are beginning to heat up, as horse-players and the public alike scramble to get their bets in on the Run for the Roses. The first pool, which was released on Nov. 2, 2023, had Kentucky Derby favorite Epicenter at near even-money odds. Since then, the picture has changed somewhat, with Epicenter drifting slightly in the odds and other horses such as Verifying and Forte gaining ground.
Here is a full list of the horses entered in the 2024 Kentucky Derby, along with their latest odds to win:
- Epicenter (5-1)
- Verifying (6-1)
- Bourbon Lane (8-1)
- Forte (10-1)
- Classic Causeway (12-1)
- Green Light Go (15-1)
- Curly Jack (20-1)
- West Saratoga (50-1)
- Grand Mo the First (50-1)
- Society Man (50-1)
Longshots Worth Considering
While the favorites may be the most likely to win the Kentucky Derby, there are always a few longshots that have a chance to surprise. In 2023, Rich Strike won the Derby at odds of 80-1. This year, there are a few horses that could be worth a look at a big price.
One of those horses is West Saratoga. The colt is trained by Mark Casse, who has won the Kentucky Derby twice before. West Saratoga has shown some promise in his early races, and he could be a major threat if he continues to improve.
Another longshot to watch is Grand Mo the First. The colt is trained by Dale Romans, who is one of the most successful trainers in Kentucky Derby history. Grand Mo the First has won two of his three starts, and he could be ready to take the next step in the Kentucky Derby.
