A victory in the 2021 Kentucky Derby would mean more than winning the first leg of the Triple Crown. It would also mean more than a blanket of 554 red roses. A victory from a talented 2021 Kentucky Derby field would also mean $1.86 million pocketed by the winning owner and trainer as a part of a $3 million prize pool. The undefeated Essential Quality carries 2021 Kentucky Derby odds of 5-2 entering the race on Saturday, May 1, while other 2021 Kentucky Derby horses include Hot Rod Charlie (6-1), Rock Your World (8-1), and Medina Spirit (8-1). With so much to consider while making your 2021 Kentucky Derby picks, a little expert help can go a long way.
Entering the Kentucky Derby 2021, nine of the last 10 winners also won in their final prep race. The one outlier, Country House in 2019, only won after Maximum Security was disqualified. Roughly half of this year's projected 2021 Kentucky Derby lineup will enter Churchill Downs off a victory.
Given all the history, there's a method to picking which horses to focus on for exacta, trifecta, and superfecta bets in a Kentucky Derby like this, and SportsLine's Jody Demling knows what it is. He can help you make the best 2021 Kentucky Derby picks possible.
A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling enters the Kentucky Derby 2021 after a major heater in 2020. At one point last year, he picked the winners of six straight races: the Saudi Cup, Gotham Stakes, Rebel Stakes, Louisiana Derby, Florida Derby and Belmont Stakes.
This is the same handicapper who hit the Derby-Oaks double at Churchill Downs nine times in the last 12 years. That means he held a ticket with the winners of both the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby all but three times in his last 12 tries.
He opened last season's Triple Crown schedule on a heater too. At last year's Belmont, Demling said Tiz the Law was clearly the class of the field, and Barclay Tagg's horse pulled away for a convincing 3 3/4-length victory. Anyone who has followed him is up huge. Now, he's sharing all of his 2021 Kentucky Derby bets here.
Top 2021 Kentucky Derby expert picks
Here's a refresher on exotic bet types from SportsLine's Jody Demling:
Exacta: Pick the first- and second-place finishers in the correct order. A $2 exacta returned $41 at the 2020 Kentucky Derby with Authentic and Tiz the Law.
Trifecta: Pick the first-, second- and third-place finishers in the correct order. A $0.50 trifecta returned $655.90 at the 2020 Kentucky Derby with Authentic, Tiz the Law, and Mr. Big News.
Superfecta: Pick the first-, second-, third- and fourth-place finishers in the correct order. A $0.10 superfecta returned $792.58 at the 2020 Kentucky Derby with Authentic, Tiz the Law, Mr. Big News, and Honor A.P.
While Demling has no quibbles with the favorite status of Essential Quality (5-2), he plans to hold tickets with Hot Rod Charlie (6-1), as well as two huge underdogs who could really spice up the payouts. You can see his picks here.
