Tuesday’s post positions draw may have an effect on the chances.
But all the major contenders will still be well set to compete if they’re drawn in the dreaded No. 17, which hasn’t made a winner.
Omaha Beach’s favouritism is well-deserved. His career trajectory is on an upward curve having finished third on debut, before two second places and three consecutive wins.
Before this month, he prevailed at the Arkansas Derby, remaining down the stretch to edge out Improbable, one of Bob Baffert’s three contenders for this year’s Kentucky Derby.
In preparation for the Run for the Roses, Omaha Beach has also looked superb:Along with Improbable, Baffert also saddles Roadster and Game Winner because he looks to secure a third Derby success in five years following Justify (2018) and American Pharoah (2015).
All three are among the favorites, but only Roadster goes into Saturday on the back of a triumph.
Improbable’s second in the Arkansas Derby was a second runners-up complete in a row following the colt started his career with three wins.
Game Winner had four wins in a row out of debut but has additionally had back second areas most recently.
Roadster, meanwhile, is in winning form following prevailing at the Santa Anita Derby back on April 6.
