Eight Belles Set to Race from No. 5 Post

With all the pressure on Big Brown, Eight Belles may be the big surprise. You go, girl!

The field for the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby is set, the post positions have been drawn. Holding down the outside position, Big Brown is the 3/1 morning line favorite heading into this weekend's big race. But over in the No. 5 position will be the only filly set to race in the Kentucky Derby: Eight Belles. Undefeated this year in four starts, including victories in the Fantasy, Honeybee and Martha Washington Stakes, Eight Belles should give bettors good value at 15/1 odds to win. If she does win, Eight Belles will become only the fourth filly to win the Kentucky Derby. Regret won it in 1915, Genuine Risk took it in 1980, and the last filly to win the Kentucky Derby was Winning Colors in 1988.
