Kentucky Derby odds Surprising picks by expert who's nailed six straight races

 The Kentucky Derby has been run outside of May only twice, once at the end of April 1901 and once in June 1945 due to World War II. Because of the racing schedule being upended due to coronavirus concerns, the 2020 Kentucky Derby will run on Sept. 5 as part of a re-imagined Triple Crown slate. It's also slated to be the first full Saturday of the college football schedule. Tiz the Law will look to keep his Triple Crown hopes Kentucky Derby 2020 alive after winning the 2020 Belmont Stakes last month. A 4-5 favorite at the Belmont, Tiz the Law carries 7-2 Kentucky Derby odds into Churchill Downs, the best of any horse in the 2020 Kentucky Derby lineup. Honor A.P and Authentic, neither of whom took the Belmont starting gate, are 5-1 and 8-1, respectively, as other 2020 Kentucky Derby contenders. Before making any horse racing predictions, you'll want to see the latest 2020 Kentucky Derby picks from SportsLine's Jody Demling.

A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling enters the 2020 Kentucky Derby on a major heater on his horse racing picks. He has the picked the winner in six straight races: the Saudi Cup, Gotham Stakes, Rebel Stakes, Louisiana Derby, Florida Derby and Belmont Stakes. At the Belmont, the first Triple Crown race of 2020, Demling called Tiz the Law the class of the field and he pulled away for a convincing victory. This is the same handicapper who hit the Oaks-Derby double at Churchill Downs nine times in the last 11 years. That means he held a ticket with the winners of both the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby all but twice in his last 11 tries. Anyone who has followed him is way up.

Now, Demling has released his early 2020 Kentucky Derby picks, predicting where every horse will finish. He's sharing all of it at SportsLine. One surprise: Demling is fading King Guillermo even though Juan Carlos Avila's horse won the Tampa Bay Derby and finished second in the Arkansas Derby. King Guillermo last ran on the first Saturday in May, finishing behind unbeaten Nadal in the Arkansas Derby's second division.  King Guillermo ranks fifth on the 2020 Kentucky Derby leaderboard with 90 points, but skipping straight to the first Saturday in September means the horse will have 18 weeks between starts if he remains idle. Former MLB All-Star Victor Martinez owns King Guillermo, who won the Tampa Bay Derby after a layoff of more than three months, under the Victoria's Ranch banner. Demling believes King Guillermo's four-month layoff is "not ideal" and doesn't recommend including the horse in your 2020 Kentucky Derby bets.

Another shocker: Demling is high on Cezanne, even though he's a 30-1 long shot in the latest Kentucky Derby odds 2020. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Purchased for $3.65 million as a two-year-old, Cezanne is starting to live up to his hefty price tag as a three-year-old.  The son of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin out of Bernardini, Cezanne made his debut a winning one on June 6 when he took down a 6 1/2-furlong, $51,000 maiden special weight race by 2 1/4 lengths at Santa Anita Park. Cezanne has time to improve his Kentucky Derby stock before Sept. 5 by possibly getting in two more races, which would show Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert if he has the goods to make a Run for the Roses. Jockeyed by renowned rider Flavien Prat, Demling calls Cezanne "dazzling" and believes he's one of the horses you should back in your 2020 Kentucky Derby bets.

A spot in the 2020 Kentucky Derby will be on the line on Saturday when a solid field of 13 3-year-olds leaves the starting gate in the 2020 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky. The winner of Saturday's prep race will receive 100 Derby qualifying points, securing a spot in the Run for the Roses, which has been postponed until Sept. 5. The Ken McPeek-trained Swiss Skydiver, who will try to become the first filly to win the Blue Grass, is the 3-1 morning-line favorite in the 2020 Blue Grass Stakes odds.

The red-hot Art Collector, who has won three straight races, and the Mike McCarthy-trained Rushie are the co-second choices at 5-1. Post time for the race is 5:30 p.m. ET. With a large and wide-open field set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you need to see the horse racing predictions from Hank "The Hammer" Goldberg before making any 2020 Blue Grass Stakes picks. The former horse racing analyst for ESPN and NBC, Goldberg became a legendary handicapper by going straight to the source. In 2004, he had dinner before the Belmont Stakes with trainer Nick Zito at a pizzeria in Queens. The dinner led Goldberg to play Zito's 36-1 monster long shot Birdstone to win and on top of his exacta, trifecta and superfecta bets. When Birdstone shocked the world, Hammer won $24,000. In the San Felipe Stakes in March, Goldberg gave out a $20 exacta that paid $180. And last month he correctly picked Tiz the Law to win the Belmont Stakes. Anybody who has followed Hammer's horse racing picks has seen huge returns.

Now, Goldberg has studied the 2020 Blue Grass Stakes contenders and released his picks, predictions and exotic bets. You can see them all over at SportsLine. Top 2020 Blue Grass Stakes predictions ,Goldberg is completely fading Shivaree at 8-1. This 3-year-old son of Awesome of Course has three wins, three seconds and two thirds in 11 career starts. He is coming off a third-place finish at Gulfstream Park on June 10.

Shivaree has excellent early speed but should face pace pressure from multiple other speed horses in the field. In addition he's questionable to get the nine-furlong distance of the race. Goldberg doesn't have Shivaree in his top four and won't be using the horse on any tickets. Bruce Lunsford’s homebred Art Collector roared past the filly Swiss Skydiver at the eighth pole and drew off to a 3½-length victory Saturday afternoon in the 96th running of the $600,000 Toyota Blue Grass (G2) for 3-year-olds.

Trained by Tom Drury Jr. and ridden by Brian Hernandez Jr., Art Collector picked up 100 qualifying points toward the $3 million Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1) to be run Sept. 5 at Churchill Downs. With Saturday’s victory, Art Collector has 100 points, good for fourth place on the leaderboard. The Kentucky Derby is limited to the top 20 point earners that pass the entry box. The victory was the first in the Toyota Blue Grass for Hernandez and the first graded stakes win for Drury.

Swiss Skydiver, who is the runaway leader in points for the Kentucky Oaks (G1), picked up 40 points in her first race against males. That total matches Toyota Blue Grass third-place finisher Rushie, who is not Triple Crown nominated. Enforceable picked up 10 points for finishing fourth to boost his total to 43, good for 12th place.

Breaking from post one, Shivaree shot to the early lead with slight favorite Swiss Skydiver and Art Collector in closest pursuit. Under Mike Smith, Swiss Skydiver moved to the lead midway down the backstretch with Art Collector following right behind. The two leaders quickly opened daylight on the rest of the field, dueled on even terms through the top of the stretch before Art Collector drew clear. Art Collector covered the 1 1/8 miles on a fast main track in 1:48.11.

The victory was worth $360,000 and increased Art Collector’s earnings to $548,475 with a record of 8-4-1-0. Art Collector is a Kentucky-bred son of Bernardini out of the Distorted Humor mare Distorted Legacy. Art Collector paid $6.60, $4 and $3.20. Swiss Skydiver returned $4.20 and $3.40 with Rushie finishing another 4¾ lengths back in third under Javier Castellano and paying $4 to show. It was another neck back to Enforceable, who was followed in order by Attachment Rate, Mr. Big News, Finnick the Fierce, Tiesto, Hard Lighting, Basin, Shivaree, Hunt the Front and Man in the Can.
