Opening at 60-1 is the Hopeful winner, Competitive Edge. Trained by Todd Pletcher, the colt will have every opportunity to excel on the Derby Trail, but the Breeders' Cup is likely not on his radar. He was diagnosed with a season-ending injury on Tuesday. However, if anyone can get him back to the races, it's Pletcher. This confidence is reflected in the colt's current odds, which are at 50-1. Competitive Edge is owned by Nancy Favreau, Kathy Psoinos and Michael Tabor.
