Who’s betting the Kentucky Derby

Pick for Post position for the Kentucky Derby is today at 11am. Who’s your favorites? Lots of good horses in this Kentucky Derby. I highly recommend making a wager as the Kentucky Derby is the most Ill informed race and most highly bet race driving up the odds. Which produces bigger payouts. The race is May 4 and televised on NBC about 5pm May 4. Omaha Beach is the favorite however with that being said you’ll most likely have to combine that bet in an exacta or trifecta to make it pay.

Saw Omaha Beach win the Arkansas Derby but my favorites for the Kentucky Derby are Improbable and War of Will.

I've always been a fan of trainer Mark Pletcher so Spinoff and Cutting Humor are sentimental favorites for me.

Actually met jockey Calvin Borel a couple years ago at Oaklawn. Super nice guy and a Louisiana boy, at that!

Thanks for sharing that's nice to know. Yes They are all fine horses with lots of talent. What scares me about the Derby is there are so many horses and the positions they select. Considering the pole positions selected today Im going to have to revaluate my selections. Betting starts Thursday at 11 am. I wish you the best of luck!!

Good luck to you as well! It's fun to look at the odds but what I love most is the history and pageantry of the whole event. Attending the Derby is on my 2020 bucket list!

So Omaha Beach was scratched today making Game Winner the favorite. It’s changed the odds of the race.

I plan on going to LA Downs on Saturday, have a cpl beers and watch `em run. Right now I`m leaning towards Roadster, not sure who I will put with him in a cpl exactas and trifecta.

Good luck to all who bet.

Well, needless to say that race was a let down. A 2.00
Exacta paid 3k but who in their right mind made that wager?
