It's finally time to bet on the Kentucky Derby. In just a few short days, 20 of the world's top 3-year-old horses will participate in the 149th Run for the Roses and aim for eternal glory.

One longshot who rates well ahead of this race is Two Phil's. Here's everything you need to know about this Larry Rivelli-trained colt before he vies for the 2023 Kentucky Debry crown.

Two Phil's Kentucky Derby Odds and Post Position

Two Phil's currently owns 12-1 odds to win the Kentucky Derby after the post positions were announced on Monday. Two Phil's drew post position 3, and just inside of leading Derby favorite and contender Tapit Trice.

Two Phil's Horse Trainer and Jockey

Two Phil's is trained by Larry Rivelli, who has Chicago roots and is bringing his first horse to the Kentucky Derby.

Two Phil's' jockey for the 2023 Kentucky Derby is Jareth Loveberry, who rode to victory in the Jeff Ruby Steaks. Loveberry is riding in his first Kentucky Derby. He rode Two Phil's to victory at Churchill Downs last October in the Street Sense Stakes.

Two Phil's Race History

Two Phil's has won 4-of-8 starts, including a Road to the Kentucky Derby Championship Series prep race in the Jeff Ruby Stakes on an artificial synthetic surface back in March.

Two Phil's Kentucky Derby Prediction and Pick

Two Phil's was a runaway 5-length winner of the Jeff Ruby Steaks. He finished a close third in the Risen Star Stakes behind winner Angel of Empire and was the only pace presser to hold up through a blistering hot pace in the Risen Star. This colt is improving and is an overlooked longshot who is capable of hitting the board or completing Superfecta and Super High Five.

Two Phil's is following in the hoof steps of his sire Hard Spun, who finished second in the 2007 Kentucky Derby. He'll be forwardly placed and pressing a more moderate pace. Two Phil's has also shown an excellent balanced Energy Distribution Profile.

Remember, huge longshot Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike finished third in the Jeff Ruby Steaks on his way to glory in the 2022 Run for the Roses. Two Phil's is capable of another surprise finish and offers value when betting on the 2023 Kentucky Derby.
