Well the draw provided some drama as the rail was the second pill out of the hopper and Renegade was matched with that one. He was clearly the morning line favorite at 4/1 odds with Commandment (post 6) and Further Ado (post 18 like last year's winner) both at 6/1. Chief Wallabee was the only other single digit odds horse at 8/1 - he drew post 12. This ought to make for a lively discussion, but Renegade fans cannot be too happy about the draw. Irad has previously drawn the rail with Known Agenda and Mo Donegal in previous Derbies. This is his 10th derby ride, so that means he has drawn the rail a whopping 30% of the time.
