Belmont Stakes and Travers winner Tiz the Law will seek Kentucky Derby glory from post 17 of 18 in Saturday's rescheduled Run for the Roses. Trainer Barclay Tagg and owner Sackatoga Stable will be trying for their second win in the Run for the Roses; they first captured the race with New York-bred Funny Cide in 2003.
Veteran oddsmaker Mike Battaglia gave Tiz the Law morning line odds of 3-5, the lowest since 1989. The race's top three choices will all be on the far outside in the new 20-stall starting gate: Honor A. P. in post 16, Tiz the Law in post 17, and Authentic in post 18.
Horses will be entered in the new 20-stall starting gate away from the rail, so the third slot will become post position one.

- Finnick the Fierce – Rey Hernandez – Martin Garcia (50-1)
- Max Player – Steve Asmussen – Ricardo Santana, Jr. (30-1)
- Enforceable – Mark Casse – Adam Beschizza (30-1)
