The 2011 Kentucky Derby gets underway on May 7 and we’ll be following the race with wall-to-wall coverage. With the race just about a week away, and the post draw a few days away, there are some early odds floating around, giving us an idea of which horses may be favored in the 2011 Kentucky Derby. It’s a wide-open field this year and no contender seperated itself during the run-up to the derby, but plenty did falter.
Kentucky Derby 2011 Contenders: Uncle Mo Favored In Early Odds
Uncle Mo is the early favorite despite being upset by Toby’s Corner in the Wood Memorial. Uncle Mo came into the tune-up race at Aqueduct heavily favored, yet faded down the stretch as Toby’s Corner surged. With the loss, the Kentucky Derby field was throw into chaos, at least for the moment.
Uncle Mo is followed by Dialed In, Nehro, Toby’s Corner and Soldat, all of which hold 10/1 or better odds. Midnight Interlude, winner of the Santa Anita Derby, is at 15/1, as is Pants On Fire.
