Enticed was coming in at 35/1 odds of winning the 2018 Kentucky Derby early on.
WHY ENTICED CAN WIN THIS YEAR'S KENTUCKY DERBY
He already owns a graded-stakes victory at Churchill Downs, capturing the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club last November. Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin is one of the nice guys in the business, and perhaps the “racing gods” are ready to smile down on him.
WHY ENTICED CAN'T WIN THIS YEAR'S KENTUCKY DERBY
He’s owned by a Godolphin group that has enjoyed no luck in the Derby, finishing outside the money in all 10 attempts. The best finish was by Frosted in 2015 (fourth), and Godolphin’s Thunder Snow barely got out of the gate last year before being pulled up.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
“Sheikh Mohammed has always wanted to win the Kentucky Derby, and I feel like no one deserves it more to win it,” trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said “He’s done an awful lot for our industry in so many ways. I grew up 70 miles from Churchill Downs in Lexington, Kentucky. And it has been my dream since I was old enough to know about horse racing, so it means a lot to everybody and it’s the Super Bowl of our industry.”
