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?

Too early to really tell...
Blowout wins in any of the big preps left will sway things, but all things being equal, I see it similar to last year with several lukewarm favorites hovering around 9-2 and 7-1.
