- Time: 6:57 PM ET
- Place: Churchill Downs, Kentucky
- How to Watch: NBC Sports
Kentucky Derby 2022 Favorites
Epicenter and Zandon are seen as the two main favorites for the 2022 Kentucky Derby. Steven Asmussen’s Epicenter is the betting favorite for several reasons, starting with the fact that she’s won the G2 Risen Star, as well as the G2 Louisiana Derby.
Another reason why Epicenter is favored is that it really seems as if it’s the right time for Asmussen to get a win in the Kentucky Derby. The Hall of Famer is the most successful trainer in thoroughbred history but has zero wins at Churchill Downs.
Trained by Chad Brown, Zandon is the second favorite, even though this horse’s already been beaten by Epicenter over 1 1/8 miles.
The number 3 in the list of Kentucky Derby 2022 favorites is Tim Yakteen’s Taiba, a horse that’s been in the spotlight for quite a lot since winning G1 Santa Anita Derby.

Next comes Mo Donegal, who starts on the rail and who’s got some pretty impressive performances in the portfolio. For instance, this horse has already won against Zendon over 1 1/8 miles.
Kentucky Derby 2022 Prediction
Horses trained by Steve Asmussen have won nearly 10,000 races so far, including Breeders’ Cup, the Belmont, and the Preakness. What none of Asmussen’s horses have won is the Kentucky Derby. However, that might change this weekend.
The horse that could win the 2022 Kentucky Derby is Epicenter. Not only is this a fantastic horse, but the jockey too has a fantastic portfolio. The man in question is Joel Rosario, a Dominican jockey who already has three US Triple Crown trophies in his cupboard, including a Kentucky Derby (in 2013).
Pick: Epicenter
