With 20 horses in the field and torrential downpours expected for the 136th Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, picking a winner will be as tough as ever.

Throw in the fact that the best three-year old, Eskendereya, was scratched with an injury and the two best remaining horses, Lookin At Lucky and Sidney’s Candy, both drew the two worst post positions and this Run For The Roses is up for grabs.

I am opting to throw out the two favorites and for the most part go for the payday.  For less than $100 you can take a shot at Trifecta with a ton of options. Over the past five years a $1 Derby trifecta has paid out an average of $6,661.94.
