After a strong performance in the prep season and some late defections from higher-ranked contenders, Grande steps onto the big stage. 

Horse Racing Betting fans looking for a value pick in this year’s 151st Kentucky Derby may want to keep a close eye on Tiztastic. Coming off a career-best performance in the Louisiana Derby, the colt enters the Run for the Roses with solid momentum. 

Trained by Brad Cox and ridden by Luan Machado, Final Gambit will be one of two Cox-trained runners in this year’s Derby, alongside Tappan Street.

Trained by 72-year-old Lonnie Briley and ridden by veteran jockey Juan Vargas, Coal Battle enters the Derby with a career record of five wins from eight starts, along with one third-place finish.

After receiving a crucial defection among the top qualifiers, this colt gets his chance on the biggest stage. While Flying Mohawk sits as one of the longest Kentucky Derby odds on the board, he presents an intriguing wildcard for those considering bold Kentucky Derby betting strategies.
