The top ten betting contenders for the Derby are ranked with notes for each horse. Don't place a Kentucky Derby bet before reading this preview.
Louisville, KY (PRWEB) April 25, 2008 -- The 2008 Kentucky Derby may now be easier to bet on with the news that an international horse racing portal, RaceHorseOwner.com, has released a list of the ten leading contenders in the annual "Run For The Roses".
The opinions of expert horse racing handicappers have been transformed into a unique Power Rankings table that ranks the Kentucky Derby betting heavyweights from one to ten and also suggests a couple of runners that represent longshot value according to the current odds.
The Kentucky Derby betting picture has certainly been transformed this month with ante-post contenders from the previous Futures pools falling away in quick succession. The leading stakes earner amongst the three-year-old crop and the champion juvenile from last season, War Pass, won't even be in the field. His reputation was already tarnished from two consecutive defeats, and now that he is injured it has thrown this year's race wide open. Or has it?
An undefeated colt named Big Brown is causing a sensation and will come into the race as the likely favorite in the betting. But he has only three lifetime starts to his credit and no horse has managed to win the Derby with equal (or lesser) experience since Regret did it way back in 1915. Even the great Curlin, who was arguably the most talented three-year-old horse to race in America in recent years, could not manage to win the Kentucky Derby off just three starts.
The West Coast has a serious challenger for the Kentucky Derby as well in the form of Colonel John, who has looked very impressive in his prep runs. But there are many other talented runners out there who could win on the first Saturday in May, and names like Pyro and Z Fortune cannot be ignored.
RaceHorseOwner.com has definitely provided a concise and helpful guide to understanding the betting nuances for this year's race, and they will also feature free Kentucky Derby tips, which will be published during the final week leading up to the race itself.
