The Kentucky Derby 2026 is approaching with a projected field of 20 horses. Top contenders include Renegade, Commandment, and Further Ado, all vying for a clear path in the race.
The Kentucky Derby is a couple of weeks away. The Run for the Roses figures to have a full field of 20 horses. That makes this arguably the best betting race of the year. So many horses means plenty of choices. This leads to great prices on the top horses.
One of the intriguing pieces to the 1 1/4 miles Kentucky Derby is the trip that horses get. It is easy to get blocked, rocked and have chances end with a rough journey. This is fascinating because the top three horses, Renegade, Commandment, and Further Ado will all be looking for a clear path as they make their run.
