Post Positions and Morning Line Odds for the 2022 Kentucky Derby

The Run for the Roses is here, and the field has been set for the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 7th.

The favorite is Zandon, the winner of the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland on April 9th, the last qualifying race for points in the The Road to the Kentucky Derby. The Chad Brown horse has yet to run at Churchill Downs previously, but has two wins in four starts and is yet to finish out of the money in his career.

The second choice is Epicenter, who many thought would be the leader on the board. The No. 3 post position might have hurt his chances on the early board, but the colt has two starts and one win at the Louisville track. In his last four races, all at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans, he has three wins including including two Grade II victories.
