Not only are you going to find out who I like for the win, but I’m going to reveal my top four finishers as part of my exacta, trifecta and superfecta picks.
The post time for this year’s Kentucky Derby is set for 6:34 PM ET, but the race isn’t set to start until 12 minutes later at 6:46 PM ET. Once again, remember, it’s always better to tune in early since the race lasts just about two minutes. There will be 20 horses in this year’s field, with $2 million as the winning prize.
