Audible was coming in at 7/1 odds of winning the 2018 Kentucky Derby early on.
WHY AUDIBLE CAN WIN THIS YEAR'S KENTUCKY DERBY
The Florida Derby winner has gone on to win three of the past five Kentucky Derbys – Orb (2013), Nyquist (2016) and Always Dreaming (2017). Audible has displayed an impressive versatility, winning the Holy Bull while near the front early and capturing the Florida Derby after rallying from the back.
WHY AUDIBLE CAN'T WIN THIS YEAR'S KENTUCKY DERBY
None of these have raced 1 ¼ miles, but there are serious questions about whether Audible can get the distance because of his pedigree. His sire Into Mischief and dam Blue Devil Bel have been more successful producing winners at shorter distances.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
How he won the Florida Derby:
“I had to give him a little chance on the backstretch to regroup again,” jockey John Velazquez said. “Once he got his stride back together and when he started moving again on the backstretch, I was very happy with the way he was doing it.”
