The prospect of a Triple Crown winner looms large over the Kentucky Derby, as any horse that wins is a threat to win all three legs if they can avoid injury.

Betting on an outright Triple Crown winner will payout a dollar more per dollar risked by placing your wager with BetOnline over BetUS. Bovada has a line specific to Fierceness winning the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes that is offering 9-to-1 payouts on the possibility.
While Triple Crown winners are rare, they do come along every few years, so these props are by no means throwaway wagers. While there was a lengthy drought between 1978 and 2015, there have now been two Triple Crown winners, American Pharoah and Justify, in less than a decade.
Depending on where you look, odds are available for betting on the horse that finished last, head-to-head betting lines where the top finisher among the two horses wins, odds for exact finishing positions, and more.
