Kentucky Derby Betting Bet on Kentucky Derby

There has been hundreds of arguments with Horse racing enthusiasts for years over the Kentucky Derby, with fans from The UK arguing that the English Derby is the biggest flat race in the world of flat racing and the US fans all saying that it is the Kentucky Derby, one thing is for certain though and that is this will be is an argument that will never be settled one way or the other.
Last year’s winner Big Brown who I feel was retired far too early to stud was built for this race with his powerful change of gear that no other horse seemed to cope with and if you ask me could have gone on to dominate racing around the World for a number of years but now we will never know.

The race itself ‘The Kentucky Derby’ is a Grade I stakes race that is only allowed for three year-old thoroughbred horses. The race is held every year in the Southern State of Louisville Kentucky on the first Saturday in May and the race actually caps the massive two-week-long Kentucky Derby Festival. The race is run over one and a quarter miles (2 km) at the picturesque Churchill Downs track which is one of the biggest racing stadiums in the World.

This race is one of them races that foreign trainers regularly try to do well in but due to the long hours travelling they have always suffered and will always do so in the future in my opinion. This year’s race will once again have the US race fans on tender hooks for the two minutes in which their hearts will be racing up and down and after the retirement of Big Brown I wonder which horse the US public will be talking about come May.

The 2006 Champion Hurdle winner had only just returned last Novemeber after injury had sidelined him for 19 months, but is showing signs of returning to his best form. Ridden by the experienced Ruby Walsh, he was made second favourite for the race at odds of 11-4.

The favourite, Sublimity, also a Cheltenham Festival winner, struggled on the soft ground and could only manage fourth place. This all sets up nicely for a strong looking field at Cheltenham this year, with previous winner Hardy Eustace and last year’s winner Katchit included in the stalls. Others to watch out for Snap Tie and the in-form Crack Away Jack. As for the Gold Cup race itself, punters will be glad to see that trainer Paul Nicholls has entered last year’s champion Denman, who has not raced since the last Gold Cup due to a heart problem. Former winner Kauto Star, also trained by Nicholls, isa also among the 38 entrants. Ireland’s main threat is from War of Attrition, the winner in 2006, but unfortunately Slim Pickings wont be there this year after having sustained a broken leg which meant he had to be put down.
