It’s Always Dreaming vs. Classic Empire heading into the 2017 Kentucky Derby with very little separation between the two where oddsmakers are concerned.
Most books online had the two between +550 and +600 or offering a potential payout of $55 to $60 on a $10 bet should either of these horses win.
All eyes were on the skies as we still did not have a definitive picture of the weather situation come post time as a line of showers were now forecast to approach the two hours before the Derby is set to go off. Rain would tend to favor McCracken, a horse that has won in the mud and he did so earlier in the Kentucky Derby prep race season at Churchill Downs.
The 2017 Kentucky Derby is being viewed as the most wide open field in modern history with the largest payouts on the favorites starting at $55 for every $10 bet.
"This is our third time and the first two times, our horses have been 50-1 in the morning line," said Terry Finley of West Point Thoroughbreds, which co-owns Always Dreaming along with Siena Farm, Brooklyn Boyz Stables, Teresa Viola, St. Elias Stable, and MeB Racing. "To come here with this much firepower is obviously very exciting and a different outlook for everyone, because we all expect that he's going to run lights out. Now whether that is good enough to win this race ... we think it is.
"But there are probably at least 10 connections that really feel strongly that they're going to win."
