Mission Impazible Kentucky Derby Odds

Mission Impazible opened at 20/1 odds this past Wednesday after post positions were announced.  With the heavy rains that fell early Saturday morning, the Todd Pletcher trained horse had his Kentucky Derby odds slashed all the way down to +1500 (15/1) at Sportsbook.com.  His odds were shorter at some other online sportsbooks.

As Gambling911.com has previously reported, Mission Impazible is being highly touted as the horse most capable of running in sloppy conditions.  He was beaten by just a head in his lone career race over the slop at Gulfstream Park in his 3-year-old debut.

Kenny Peck of the Daily Racing Form says: "Mission Impazible has steadily improved his Beyer Speed Figures with each start, capped by a determined score in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby last time. If he can take another step forward, he may post the best figure of his career, one that's good enough to get him a win in the Derby."
