Renegade drew the No. 1 post position and was the 4-1 morning-line favorite for the 152nd Kentucky Derby, but was eclipsed by The Puma early Tuesday. As the odds continue to shift, Renegade has flipped back to the favorite, but has company.

Four other horses in the 20-horse field have single-digit odds: So Happy at the No. 8 post; Further Ado at the No. 18 post; Commandment at the No. 6 post; and Chief Wallabee at the No. 12 post.

We’ve also seen two scratches already, as Silent Tactic (post 13) and Fulleffort (post 20) are no longer in the field. They’ve been replaced by Great White and Ocelli.

Sovereignty won last year’s Kentucky Derby at 7-1 odds on a sloppy track. Trained by Bill Mott, Sovereignty won in 2:02.31. Journalism, the race favorite, placed and Baeza showed.

The Derby will take place Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, with a post time of 6:57 p.m. ET.
