Underdogs Eye Derby Upset as Churchill Downs Field Shakes Out

Churchill Downs' 2026 Kentucky Derby field is unusually tough to separate, with Renegade the favorite but no clear standout from the gate. Long shots Danon Bourbon (20-1), undefeated in Japan, and Golden Tempo (30-1) coming from off the pace offer value, while others like Litmus Test, Further Ado, So Happy, The Puma, Emerging Market and Incredibolt could pop if the pace is fast and tiring horses fold. This Derby is wide open, so sprinkling a few long-shot wagers could pay off rather than chasing the favorite.

With the college football season approaching, bettors are looking for long-shot candidates to bet on for the Heisman Trophy.

Ohio State Buckeyes WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (+2000) has the talent and opportunity to put up big numbers, especially with an easier early schedule.
