ZANDON was the early 3-1 favorite to win the 148th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday after drawing the number 10 post in Monday’s post-position draw ceremony.
The three-year-old colt, who will be ridden by jockey Flavien Prat, stormed to victory at last month’s Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes to qualify for the first leg of the Triple Crown and has been impressive in recent workouts.
Prat will be seeking a second Derby victory after winning aboard Country House in 2019.
Derby points leader Epicenter is second favorite at 7-2 after drawing the number three post in the 20-horse race. — Reuters
