2024 Kentucky Derby: Day-of odds for all horses, from Fierceness to Catching Freedom
The 150th Kentucky Derby, a testament to the enduring legacy of horse racing, will crown a new winner on the first Saturday in May. The countdown to this prestigious first leg of the Triple Crown is now in its final hours.
With the competition fierce and the stakes high, Fierceness has emerged as the early favorite, with odds of 5-2 of winning the Garland of Roses. Sierra Leone (at 3-1 odds) and Catching Freedom (8-1) are horses that should not be underestimated, standing as strong contenders to triumph at Churchill Downs on Saturday.
Yet, as the adage goes, it's anyone's race on the dirt track. Last year's Kentucky Derby was a prime example, with Mage — a horse that hadn't even raced as a 2-year-old and had just one victory in three career starts — defying the 15-1 odds to claim the title. This unpredictability is what makes the Kentucky Derby a thrilling event.
