Kentucky Derby 2024: Honor Marie Horse Racing Profile
Honor Marie garnered the attention of the horse racing world when he placed in the Louisiana Derby (GII) thanks to a strong finish down the stretch. That second-place finish garnered enough points to be considered among the 2024 Kentucky Derby odds. Honor Marie closed 20-1 in April’s futures pool, a respectable number ahead of much of the field. He was a strong distance runner in clean conditions, but sloppy conditions derailed some races. Watch for the expected conditions at Churchill Downs closer to the 150th Run for the Roses, as that’ll drastically affect Honor Marie’s odds.
Below, we’ll review everything you need to know to bet Honor Marie in the upcoming Kentucky Derby.
