    Resilience: Predictions, odds and analysis

    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
