Kentucky Derby odds: 150th Run for the Roses opening projections

Originally posted on Action Network  |  By Chase Howell  |  Last updated 4/29/24

It is almost time for the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby. The massive milestone edition will commence on Saturday, May 4.

The gates have already been drawn and it's time to take a look at the odds for each horse in the Run for the Roses.

Remember when betting on horses, all lines are considered morning odds lines which means the price you are getting when the bet is placed isn't necessarily the odds at close. If you are betting on a horse racing app such as DK Horse, FanDuel Racing or TwinSpires, the bets will be based on the closing numbers. A few sportsbooks offer fixed odds pricing, which would look more like a traditional sports bet.

FanDuel Racing is providing new users a $500 no sweat bet on their first win bet. If your first bet loses you'll receive $500 in site credit back that you can bet on any market — not just the win market. You will need to be a resident of a state that has legalized online horse betting in order to utilize the promotion. That includes plenty of states that don't have legalized online sports betting.

Even if you've already had a FanDuel account, you're eligible so long as you haven't used their racing platform.
