Citizen Bull Kentucky Derby Prediction and Pick
Citizen Bull's fourth-place finish at the Santa Sanita Derby in early April quieted some of the hype around them, but this is still a horse with major upside. Citizen Bull has the third-best average speed score and max speed score in the field, and we know they boast the right combination of trainer and jockey. As a 20-1 longshot, Citizen Bull has as much intrigue as anyone given their proven top-end speed.
