Blazing Sevens Goes Down in Flames, Oddsmakers Readjust Their 2023 Kentucky Derby Odds

"Defections" will be the word on everybody’s mind this week as the final fields approach for both the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks.

The ultimate Derby field of 20 will be finalized on May 1, along with a quartet of also-eligible runners in case any horses withdraw.

Blazing Sevens became the first pony to decline the Derby invitation. Jace’s Road steps into the field and has been tagged with lofty, 50-1 odds by SportsBetting.ag.

Should we see another withdraw, the “next horse up” on the Derby list is Skinner, who has already been added to the odds market at 28-1.
