Saturday marks the 148th Kentucky Derby, the coveted first leg of the Triple Crown. The Run for the Roses presents a wide array of potential winners, with 10th position Zandon the favorite at 3-1. Early favorite Taiba suffered a blow from the draw with the fearsome No.12, who has historically underperformed.
As usual, NBC will air most of the Kentucky Derby coverage in 2022.
Just behind Zandon in the odds is Epicenter at 7-2. Epicenter will start from third position, closely followed by Messier at 8-1 (#6).
The winner of the race will take a step towards the coveted Triple Crown, horse racing’s highest honor.
