Kentucky Derby 2026 odds: Renegade still favored with race rapidly approaching

[ASFN Admin]

Break out your most extravagant hat because the Kentucky Derby is nearly here.

We're mere hours away from post time and there's plenty to catch up on. To start, five horses have been scratched from the race: The Puma, which briefly was the favorite, along with Right to Party, Fulleffort, Silent Tactic and Corona De Oro.

Renegade has been atop the odds for most of the lead-up to the race. That remains the case as of Saturday morning. Albus and Intrepido are just behind at 50/1 and 55/1, respectively.

We don't know whether Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce plan to attend, but the horse they were rumored to be associated with is no longer running. Kelce had been linked to The Puma based on his relationship with Bruce Zoldan, a co-owner of the horse. The Puma has been scratched due to leg swelling caused by a skin infection, however.

Here are the latest odds, as of 9:10 a.m. ET.

• Renegade (5/1)
• Albus (50/1)
• Intrepido (55/1)
• Litmus Test (34/1)
• Commandment (7/1)
• Danon Bourbon (14/1)
• So Happy (6/1)
• Wonder Dean (20/1)
