The 2015 Kentucky Derby odds look a little bit different Friday morning after the scratch of Stanford, who was set to start in the No. 11 position in the 141st Run for the Roses. Derby-favorite American Pharoah now moves up into the 17th post, a position no horse has ever won from. Be that as it may, the colt, trained by Bob Baffert and jockeyed by Victor Espinoza, is still the popular bet at 5/2, in odds posted at Bovada.
2015 Kentucky Derby odds: American Pharoah moves to 17th gate, still betting favorite
Kentucky Derby favorite American Pharoah will start from the 17th post, a position that has never won the Kentucky Derby, after Stanford scratched on Thursday.
Stanford was unlikely to win the Derby anyway, despite the good post. Trained by Todd Pletcher, Stanford had opened at 30/1 odds after a second-place finish in the Louisiana Derby.
Odds shifted slightly throughout, with Dortmund, an undefeated Baffert-trained horse starting from the eighth post, now at 3/1. Pletcher-trained colt Carpe Diem, who starts in the No. 2 post, follows at 8/1 odds, while Materiality follows at 12/1.
Frammento, trained by Nick Zito, will now start from the 20th post and has 50/1 odds.
The Kentucky Derby will be held about 6:25 p.m. (ET) on Saturday
