The horses are nearing the starting gate for America’s biggest horse race. The rescheduled 2020 Kentucky Derby headlines a Sept. 5 Churchill Downs card that includes 14 races and seven graded stakes. That make’s Saturday’s Derby day one of the biggest days in racing for fans and bettors. I’ve got you covered for bets, picks and opinions from some handicapping pros. Plenty of ways to bet on the Kentucky Derby, but even more ways to win by including additional bets and races in your betting portfolio. Many bettors will be adding exotic wagers (bet on more than one outcome) on the Derby. Many more will also add bets in the horizontal pools like the Pick 3 or late Pick 5, which starts in Race 10 and concludes with the Kentucky Derby. With nearly 40 states allowing legal online wagering at platforms like Twinspires, the official betting partner of the Kentucky Derby, you can enjoy watching and wagering on the race conveniently online or from your mobile device. The $3 million Grade 1 Kentucky Derby is the last race on Saturday at Churchill Downs with post time at 7:01 p. m. ET. But prior to the 146th running of the Kentucky Derby, there are two other Grade 1 races with seven straight graded stakes starting in Race 8. Some of those will be part of NBC’s 5-hour Derby Day coverage starting at 2:30 p. ET. Follow along online and with NBC’s coverage with the Kentucky Derby odds changing as the pari-mutuel bets pour in just prior to the race. My early look at Kentucky Derby contenders included a piece on Tiz the Law. Once the post position draw was completed, the pari-mutuel morning line odds were set and Tiz the Law was made the prohibitive favorite at 3/5 - the lowest morning line odds on a Derby entry in more than 30 years. Art Collector was a late scratch from the race as a leading contender, and now King Guillermo was also scratched a few days ago leaving 17 challengers in the Run for the Roses. I reached out to handicapper Chris O’Rorke and the team from Guaranteed Tip Sheet (GTS) for some additional insight and analysis on the Kentucky Derby. They provided additional details, picks and race analysis on Saturday’s graded stakes races, and the GTS website has news, tips and updates on all the races. That also includes for Friday’s $1. 25 million Kentucky Oaks - the featured race for fillies and part of six graded stakes races to kick off the huge weekend of racing under the Twinspires at Churchill Downs. Kentucky Derby - Tiz the Law, Authentic, Honor A. P. Big longshots in the mix South Bend, Ny Traffic, Max Player. Comments from Chris and Guaranteed Tip Sheet, “Tiz the Law ran the top last race speed figure and checks off every box for a Kentucky Derby winner. ”On South Bend, who was a hard-closing runner up in the Ohio Derby and then finished a distant fourth behind winner Tiz the Law and Max Player (3rd) in the Travers Stakes last month, Chris said, “South Bend kept popping up no mater how we ranked them.
