2026 Kentucky Derby Horse Racing Odds
Event: 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby
Date: Saturday, May 2, 2026
Venue: Churchill Downs
Location: Louisville, Kentucky, United States
The 152nd Kentucky Derby runs May 2 at Churchill Downs, opening the Triple Crown with a $5 million purse and wide betting markets. Expect fast conditions with clear weather favoring speed types early. Renegade headlines as the morning-line favorite but draws the tough rail, a post that has not produced a winner since 1986.
From a wagering angle, that creates value across the field, especially in exactas and longshot plays. Early pace and positioning will be everything in this race.
Here are the Live Futures Odds:
