who's favored to win Kentucky derby?

Brother Derek is the likely favorite. His odds will probably be in the 3 to 1 range. Those odds would pay $8 on a $2 bet to win. The best value bet to win the race is Steppenwolfer who will probably have odds in the 20 to 1 range. Those odds would pay $42 on a $2 win bet. I'm a handicapper... e-mail me next Wednesday and I'll send you what I will be betting on in the Derby. No charge. No guarantee, either.\nYes, I had a bet on last year's winner Giacomo, although I wish I had bet more. I did not have enough confidence in him. At least I broke even.\n\n\nEdit:  Barbaro has not raced in five WEEKS, not months. This is what the trainer planned, although it is a bit unusual. And Sweetnorthernsaint has NOT been scratched (as of April 30). Verified on www.drf.com

I like Jazil. He made a great move in the Wood to finish second on an off track and then in the Derby he came from way back and was still gaining when he placed fourth. I say, given the extra track he should finish strongly and in front.

Thoroughbred Times.com combined with the morning line on the scratch sheets will reflect the legitimacy of the horse and potential to win...\n\nAn added tip about betting...you may not always bet to win, but handicap as though the horse could win...it is practically impossible, to pick a horse to come in second, third or even last...try it sometime, without betting...try picking a horse to come last in any given race..

I'm going with Brother Derek. I very rarely pick the winner so my advice to all you horseplayers is to bet on anyone except Brother Derek!  :-)

If the winner of the Kentucky Derby closes in the last 1/4 mile, yes. there could be a Triple Crown winner-i.e., Steppehwolfer-if the winner of the Kentucky Derby is a front runner-Lawyer Ron (sire=Langfuhr)-it would be very doubtful.\n\nThere is too much pressure on the horses in the Grade 1 racing program and most breeding farms are breeding for speed, not stamina. If Point Determined lays off of the pace and is in contention at the top of the stretch, his breeding and racing background, including blood lines, may allow Point Determined to be a powerful force in the Belmont stakes 1 1/2 mile.\n\nHow the race is run, who wins, and fresh horses being thrown against Kentucky Derby winners are all important factors.\n\nWe'll all get a better picture as to whether or not there will be a Triple Crown champion after the Kentucky Derby. Watch the breeding-pedigree-of the winner of the Kentucky Derby and keep this question posted until the second week in May for better answers...

I watch a lot of wrestling with my son, I think between Cena and Sabu, Cena will win. Foley and Flair, probably Foley because Edge will interfere. Between Carlito, Shelton and Nitro, I think probably Shelton and RVD and Edge, I hope RVD, but I think Mick might interfere on Edge's behalf.

Although Couples would clearly be the emotional favorite, at this particular moment (Saturday evening, 10:30pm eastern time), Tiger woods is a significant favorite to win.  Tiger is currently priced at +275, with Mickelson next at +500, Els at +1200 and Singh at +1200.   Freddy is at +5000 (a 50:1 underdog), according to the gamblers.\n\nToday's rain played right into Tiger's hands.  Softening up the fairways makes it hard for the short hitters and softening up the greens rewards the aggressive players like Tiger and Mickelson.

You could be right, but even if they don't win it all, you can write this in permanent ink...\nPlayer of the Year - Tyler Hansbrough\n\nGO HEELS !!!!

Yes, macarthur, there is a logical reason to bet on certain horses in this race. I threw out several with one quick glance at the pp's. The reason? Because these throw outs will be dang tired when they get to 10 furlongs. And the Belmont Stakes is 12 furlongs.\n\nWho will stop first? High Finance.\n\nWho will make the distance with energy to spare? I see four. Oh So Awesome, Jazil, Steppenwolfer, and Bluegrass Cat. I've been looking forward to seeing Steppenwolfer run in this race, but Oh So Awesome has grabbed my attention. I rate him as just as good as Steppenwolfer, and even though he's a turf runner from overseas he does have one race under his belt on the Belmont track (last race, in the slop, 8 1/2 furlongs, 3rd place, Jockey was Mike Smith, and comment line is "Good finish inside."). His morning line is 20-1, he has Mike Smith (who won the Derby with Giacomo last year), and it's suppose to rain at Belmont tomorrow.\n\nDoesn't Oh So Awesome sound like the best value bet? My predicted order of finish is Oh So Awesome, Steppenwolfer, Bluegrass Cat, and Jazil.
