2026 Kentucky Derby betting preview

Post positions play an extremely important part in determining which horse will win the Kentucky Derby. Since 1930, post 5 has produced the most winners (10), the most runners-up (eight, tied with posts 3 and 6), and the second-highest win percentage (10.4%). 

Post 15 has produced several winners in recent years, including Orb (2013), American Pharoah (2015), and Authentic (2020). Another recent trend worth noting before placing your 2026 Kentucky Derby wagers, nine of the last 15 Kentucky Derby winners (60%) started from post 13 or wider.

Meanwhile, it's been 40 years since Ferdinand won the Kentucky Derby from post 1. This year's favorite, Renegade (4-1), will break from post No. 1 on Saturday, May 2. Renegade won the Arkansas Derby in March and has two wins, two seconds, and one third in five career starts. Other notable contenders in the 2026 Kentucky Derby field include Commandment (6-1), Further Ado (6-1) and Chief Wallabee (8-1). Claim up to $400 in racing credits, double the offer available to the general public, by using the TwinSpires promo code CBSSPORTS here:
