This Saturday will bring the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. We’ve already put together articles showing you the sports betting favorites in the race as well as the full television schedule, so now it’s time to look at some of the fun 2019 Kentucky Derby prop bets that you can also use to take part in the wagering. We have a list of some of the more commonly wagered side bets from the chase for the roses.

2019 Kentucky Derby Prop Bets

First Quarter Time

  • Over / Under 22.8 seconds (-120 for Over, -120 for Under)

How many lengths will the winner win by?

  • Over / Under 1.5 (-160 for Over, +120 for Under)
In a closely contested Derby like this, without a clear favorite, taking the value on the “under” here could make a lot of sense.

Will Secretariat’s record time (1:59.40) be broken?

  • No -7500
  • Yes +1200
This record has stood for 46 years, and there is no horse currently dominating like Secretariat did. Also, there’s not much value at all in betting the “No” side.

Will a horse win wire to wire?

  • No -1000
  • Yes +550

Will any horse win two of the three Triple Crown races?

  • No -175
  • Yes +135
Again, without a clear favorite, the “Yes” bet here has some value despite the fact that so many Kentucky Derby winners go on to win one of the other two.

Will the crowd have more than the 157,813 who attended last year?

  • Yes -250
  • No +170
Without the buzz that a clear favorite brings, could attendance dwindle? Or is it more about the spectacle than anything else?

Will the Kentucky Derby winner win the Triple Crown?

  • No -600
  • Yes +350
Triple Crowns are quite rare, which is why there’s little value on the “No” side on a year in which there is no clear favorite.

Will the Kentucky Derby winner also win the Preakness Stakes?

  • No -230
  • Yes +160
There’s more Kentucky Derby-Preakness correlation than there is between the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont, because of the additional length at Belmont Park.

Will the Kentucky Derby winner also win the Belmont Stakes?

  • No -400
  • Yes +250

Will there be an inquiry at the Kentucky Derby?

  • No -850
  • Yes +450

Will the winning time be OVER or UNDER 2:02.65?

  • Over -120
  • Under -120
Last year, Justify won in 2:04.20. Right now, the forecast is for rain on Saturday, so I’d take the over with mud a big possibility.

Will Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski attend the 2019 Kentucky Derby?

  • Both -200
  • Neither +600
  • Tom No, Gronk Yes +400
  • Tom Yes, Gronk No +200
Rob Gronkowski is a big horse racing fan and has invested in horses in the past.

Will Jennifer Lawrence attend the 2019 Kentucky Derby?

  • Yes -500
  • No +300

How close will the finish be?

  • Dead Heat +3000
  • By a Nose +1000
  • By a Head +800
  • By a Neck +800
  • ½ length to ¾ length +375
  • 1 length to 2 ¾ lengths +200
  • 3 lengths to 5 ¾ lengths +225
  • 6 lengths to 7 ¾ lengths +650
  • 8 lengths to 10 ¾ lengths +725
