Overview
- The post-position draw, which begins Saturday around 2 p.m. ET, will stream free on KentuckyDerby.com and the Derby YouTube channel using a pill-pull that pairs each horse’s name with a numbered gate.
- The 20-horse lineup is determined by qualifying points, led by Commandment with 150, Further Ado with 135, and Renegade with 125.
- Early odds tab Renegade as the favorite, with Commandment and The Puma also viewed as major threats on the betting board.
- Confirmed mounts include Irad Ortiz Jr. on Renegade, Luis Saez on Commandment, John Velazquez on Further Ado, and Javier Castellano on The Puma.
- The Derby runs May 2 on NBC and USA with Peacock streaming, and today’s gate assignments could alter trip plans and betting value across the board.
