Its the start of May and for many people it signals one thing, besides the warm weather, the Kentucky Derby race. The 2019 Kentucky Derby will run on May 4th, Saturday, and below you can see the latest odds on which contestant will cross the finish line first. In addition, we have also created a small comparison chart to match the odds on the winners as posted by a couple of the best online sportsbooks.
This years Run for the Roses will be particularly interesting one with a few favorites to win this leg of the Triple Crown. And while there is no clear cut favorite at this time, Game Winner is right now holding the best odds at around 5/1, depending on the sportsbook. Roadster, Improbable and Tacitus also hold some tight numbers, but bettors looking for value should be happier at the 2019 Kentucky Derby than in previous years. Right now the odds are very good and quite beneficial for the bettors, but keep in mind that as wagers are coming in at the start of the weekend, some of these good payout numbers are bound to dwindle, so if you have a favorite horse lock it in early.
Here is the quick comparison of the odds posted by the two top sportsbook. We have kept both formats: the fractional odds posted at Bovada and the American odds posted at Bookmaker, for clarity.
