Full horses list and odds for the 2024 Kentucky Derby
Editor's note: Follow along for live coverage of the 150th Kentucky Derby.
Who will win the 2024 Kentucky Derby?
That's a question to be answered this weekend when the 150th Run for the Roses starts on Saturday, May 4 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Morning-line odds are out for all 20 participants – including two Japanese horses – in this year's race, indicating which horses are early favorites to win the first leg of horse racing's Triple Crown.
Topping the early odds are two American horses born in Kentucky: Sierra Leone, trained by Chad Brown and jockeyed by Tyler Gafflione, and Fierceness, trained by Todd Pletcher and jockeyed by three-time Derby winner John Velazquez.
After Saturday's post drawing, we know Sierra Leone will be trying to be the eighth horse to win the "Greatest Two Minutes in Sports" from post 2.
On Tuesday, Encino – the horse slated to start from post 9 – was scratched from the race. Horses originally set in posts 10-20 have moved up one post and Epic Ride will start from post 20 as Encino's substitution.
Here is the full list of participants and morning-line odds for the 2024 Kentucky Derby.
