Specter of 2021 Hangs Over Churchill Downs

This net would be a tad higher if the outcome of the 2021 Derby had been legitimatized on race day. Mandaloun was officially declared the winner of that race this past February after the late Medina Spirit, trained by Baffert, was disqualified. Spirit tested positive for a banned substance after the race but the issue took several months to settle. Race favorite Essential Quality (2.9-1) was moved up into the show position, but those tickets had long been rendered worthless given that the result that stood on race day - incorrect that it was - determined the payouts.

The favorite this year is expected to be Epicenter or Zandon.

Backing the Derby favorite has been a profitable, if not an exciting strategy, during the past 30 years. It has proven to be a solid backup plan for other, more exotic wagers with higher potential payoffs. Not all favorites are created equal. Tiz The Law was the priciest Derby favorite during this span, going off at 0.75-1 before finishing second to Authentic in 2020. In 1992, Arazi hit the gate at 0.90-1 but ran eighth, finishing well back of Lil E. Tee.

A Look Behind the Numbers & Winners

The favorite at won the Kentucky Derby nine times overall in this span (30%) and in six straight runnings starting in 2013 with Orb. A bay colt, Orb closed at 5.4-1 and is the most lucrative favorite to win during this span. He returned $12.80, $7.40 and $5.40. In 2007, Street Sense won at 4.9-1 odds. Bettors using this system would have pocketed $1,140 on their investment that year. The biggest flop during this 30-year span from a numeric perspective, in addition to the aforementioned Arazi and Tiz The Law, is Point Given. The horse was a 1.8-1 favorite in 2001 but ran fifth to winner Monarchos.
