The Kentucky Derby. The most exciting two minutes in sports. The Run for the Roses. The first Saturday in May. The first leg of the Triple Crown.
Our 2026 Kentucky Derby Betting Guide is just the start of our Triple Crown coverage and the inspiration behind our Triple Crown Special, one of the best VSiN Pro subscription offers we’ve ever had – an all-access pass to all of our horse racing coverage, as well as picks, predictions, and betting insights across all sports, including our OptaAI MLB Player Prop Projections and NBA Player Prop Projections for just $14.99.
Our horse racing experts will steer you in the right direction, but we’ve also been getting daily best bets from our friends at Daily Racing Form (DRF) for several months now and that will continue through the Triple Crown races and beyond. You can pick up even more Kentucky Derby data and analysis by getting your hands on one of their DRF Handicapping packages.
