Kentucky Derby Odds 2024
Unlike fixed odds betting, odds for the Kentucky Derby will continue to move until post time, even if you place your bet today. Most odds movement occurs day-of and minutes prior to post.
For example, if you were to bet on Dornoch the week of the race at 20-1 odds but when the race started he was 18-1, your wager slip/betting ticket would be at 18-1 odds.
