Predictions:

Vance Hanson: Seventh-place finish for Resilience

Kentuckyderby.com editor Vance Hanson predicts a seventh-place finish for Resilience, which lines up with the horse's odds, but still puts Resilience behind another, similarly-rated horse in Honor Marie. Finishing second among all horses with 20-1 odds is not a slight. If anything, it shows how highly-touted Resilience is. Even without the best speed, Resilience should still be in position to place rather well.

Kellie Reilly: Eighth-place finish

Reilly, a staff writer for brisnet.com, believes Resilience will finish in eighth place at the 2024 Kentucky Derby. Although Reilly has other 20-1 odd horses ahead of Resilience -- Honor Marie and Track Phantom -- Reilly's and other experts' placements of Resilience shows that most people close to the horse racing scene believe Resilience brings a lot to the table.

Odds: 20-1
