Best Bets for the 2020 Kentucky Derby

How to bet the 2020 Kentucky Derby

After being delayed by the coronavius pandemic to the first weekend in September, the 2020 Kentucky Derby has finally arrived.

Normally the first of the three “Triple Crown races,” the Kentucky Derby is the second leg of the Triple Crown in 2020, after Tiz the Law won the Belmont Stakes back in June.

The odds-on favorite, Tiz the Law enters the race at odds of 3/5, but also drew the No. 17 post, where no Derby contender has ever won. Could that change this Saturday?

Check out the video as SI Gambling insider and horse racing Handicapper Frankie Taddeo, along with Winstar Farms trainer Destin Heath break down their favorite bets for this year’s Derby, including how to find value while still betting the favorite.
