Final Gambit Kentucky Derby Prediction and Pick

Final Gambit finished in the money in all four career races. Average and max speed scores leave something to be desired, though there's proven upside here and it helps to be trained by one of the best in the business.

Despite having the longest odds to win the Kentucky Derby, Final Gambit may have a bit more juice than the rest of the 30-1 horses.
