The posted gate time for the147th Kentucky Derby has been announced as 6:57 pm EDT. This morning, post positions for the $3 million guaranteed race were drawn, and morning-line betting odds were announced. Unless there are scratches, a full field of 20 will start the race on Saturday, 1 May, at Churchill Downs. All of the 3-year-old colts will carry 1126 pounds in the 10 furlong (1 1/4 miles) race. The early betting favorite, Essential Quality, drew the 14 post and has the lowest morning-line betting odds of 2 to 1.
Hidden Stash, post 13 in the Derby, trained by Victoria Oliver
Of the 20 entries, all are colts except Brooklyn Strong, the only New York-bred, who is a gelding. There are two Florida-breds, Medina Spirit and Soup and Sandwich; the other 17 entries were bred in Kentucky. There are two gray/roan colts (Essential Quality, Soup and Sandwich) in the field, six chestnuts (O Besos, Known Agenda, Like the King, Dynamic One, Hidden Stash, King Fury) and 12 bays. Two stallions are the sires of 5 entries: Into Mischief is the sire of Mandaloun, Highly Motivated, and Soup and Sandwich; while Curlin sired Known Agenda and King Fury.
Medina Spirit, a dark bay trained by Bob Baffert, will have John R.
Velazquez as the jockey, breaking from post 8
Four trainers have multiple entries: Todd Pletcher has four; Brad Cox has two; Steve Asmussen has two; and Mark Casse has two. Victoria Oliver is the only female trainer, with Hidden Stash.
Midnight Bourbon will have Mike Smith as his pilot, breaking from
gate 10, with Steve Asmussen as the trainer
