When looking at the favorite, four times in the "oughts" since 2000 has a Kentucky Derby favorite been below 3-1: Bellamy Road (around 5/2), Empire Maker (5/2), Point Given (around 2-1) and Fusaichi Pegasus (a little less than 5/2). In that bunch we had a blowout winner of the Wood, the second coming according to the pedigree experts, the second coming according to Bob Baffert, and a crazy son of Mr. Prospector.
Is there a 3-1 and under type horse in this year's field? Who knows?
