Kentucky Derby favorites have traditionally done poorly in the Derby so many people will look to beat Big Brown in the 2008 Kentucky Derby. There are a few knocks against Big Brown in Kentucky Derby odds including lack of experience and a trainer in Rick Dutrow who has never been in the Derby. The two likely challengers to Big Brown in Kentucky Derby are Pyro who was looking like a possible favorite until showing a disdain for Polytrack in the Blue Grass and Colonel John who ran a big race in the Santa Anita Derby. The question for Pyro in Kentucky Derby will be how well he bounces back while the question for Colonel John will be how he runs on dirt after running on synthetic surfaces in California.
