The 2019 Kentucky Derby field is down to 19 following Gotham Stakes winner and double-digit longshot Haikal scratched from the race on Friday morning with a foot abscess. He's the next horse to draw from Saturday's 2019 Kentucky Derby, as Omaha Beach, the morning-line favorite, scraped Wednesday with a breathing difficulty. This will be the first time since 2015 the Run for the Roses will possess less than a complete field of 20. The latest 2019 Kentucky Derby weather is calling for a soggy day at Churchill Downs, with rain chances over 70 percent before the 6:46 p.m. ET article time. Three brothers trained by Bob Baffert are among the best favorites: Game Winner (6-1), Improbable (5-1) and Roadster (9-1). On the other hand, the total preferred is Maximum Security, who is listed at 9-2 in the present 2019 Kentucky Derby odds after fetching 10-1 on the morning line. With weather playing a factor in horse racing's most prestigious event, you will want to listen to what SportsLine's Jody Demling has to say before inputting some 2019 Kentucky Derby picks and predictions of your own. A fixture at the horse racing world who has been speaking about, speaking about and betting on races for years, Demling comes into the Kentucky Derby 2019 on a mind-blowing streak: He has hit the Derby-Oaks double at Churchill Downs nine of the last ten decades. That means he held a ticket with the winners of the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks nine occasions in the last ten years. The Derby is just a part of a highly successful betting profession for Demling, who nailed his ninth Preakness winner in 14 years in Pimlico past May. He followed up by calling Justify's groundbreaking success in the Belmont Stakes, in Addition to calling the winners of the Haskell Invitational, Pennsylvania Derby and Lecomte Stakes, just to name a few. He also hit the past year's Arkansas Derby and Louisiana Derby. Demling nailed the superfecta in this year's Pegasus World Cup for a $678 payout on a $1 wager. He also hit the superfecta at the Robert B. Lewis Stakes and picked the winner of the Risen Star Stakes in February, War of Will. In addition, he hit the exacta, trifecta, and superfecta at this year's Arkansas Derby, the final Kentucky Derby prep race. Whoever has followed him is up huge. Now, together with the 2019 Kentucky Derby lineup collection, Demling is sharing his selections at SportsLine. We can tell you he wants no part of Roadster, one of the top Vegas favorites in 9-1 Kentucky Derby chances. In fact, he states Roadster doesn't even crack the top five. Though the Baffert trainee is coming off a gutsy half-length triumph in the Santa Anita Derby over stablemate Sport Winner, Roadster conducted 38 feet than Game Winner, who was wide on both ends. On Tuesday, Roadster drew post No. 17 for the Derby, which might lead to a far wider trip than the one he had at Santa Anita. That may spell danger for anyone choosing to cover the 9-1 premium he's controlling. Additionally, Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith passed the opportunity to ride Roadster in the Kentucky Derby to leap on Omaha Beach. Smith is going to be substituted by Florent Geroux, who'll be driving Roadster for the first time. Instead, Demling is high on War Will, a long shot at 17-1. War of Will vaulted to near the very top of early-season Kentucky Derby 2019 positions after winning the Lecomte Stakes and Risen Star Stakes in New Orleans. In his next race, the Louisiana Derby, he stumbled from the starting gates and finished ninth. Ever since that time, but the horse has coached brilliantly, and trainer Mark Casse says War of Will is all systems go. Following this week's post draw, he told reporters,"Our horse is actually on his game, so he will come off from the inner post running." The scratch of Haikal assists War of Will. He'll now leave from article No. 2 rather than the dreaded post No. 1, which frequently is the casualty of this crush of horses by the outside moving into the railing trying to conserve earth. Even though no horse has won from the No. 2 post since 1978, the additional room between War of Will and the rail is likely to create a significant difference. Demling is particularly high on a massive long shot that could internet any backer a colossal windfall.
