Question

When will the final odds on the Kentucky Derby be announced?

Answer 1

the odds change all the way up until the gates open...  even after the horses load, one could end up as a late scratch.  bets are taken until the race begins.  you won't know the final odds until the race begins.

if you watch the race, there will be constant updates on the odds of each horse.

Answer 2

About one second before you hear them say "AND THEY ARE OFF!"

That is when all betting comes to a stop!

Answer 3

Just after post time

Answer 4

Odds on any horse racing event are not "final" until the race begins.  The odds will change depending on the amount wagered on each horse, and you will receive whatever the odds settle at once the race begins.  Unlike sports wagering, you cannot lock-in the odds on your bet by betting before the line moves.  When the odds on your horse change, so do the odds on the betting ticket in your hand.  Only exception - futures bets (bets made very early in the season, before the final running horses in the Derby have been decided) could have been made on certain horses that were expected to make the cut and be in the Derby, and those odds would be stable.  Not offered at every track or casino, the opportunity to make a futures bet on this years' Derby is long since gone anyway.

Answer 5

The final odds will be announced as soon as the race is finished and the results are proclaimed official.
