The first leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown is only a few days away, and post positions were drawn for the 20 horses in the field on Tuesday. Race favorite Omaha Beach was set to start from post No. 12, but the horse was scratched from the race on Wednesday due to a medical issue. It was announced Friday morning that Haikal was also scratched from the race due to an abscess on his left front hoof. As a result, only 19 horses will race on Saturday, and no horse will be staged in Post 1.
The 2019 Kentucky Derby will begin at 6:50 p.m. on Saturday, May 4th, on NBC.
Here are the post positions and odds to win for the full field as of Saturday afternoon.
