Kentucky Derby

While you can watch the 136th annual running of the Kentucky Derby this Saturday on NBC Sports, there is only one place worth betting the fastest two minutes in sports. The Derby field is wide open this year with eight horses at 12/1 or less, led by favorite Lookin' At Lucky. Lookin' At Lucky's trainer, Bob Baffert, is in search of his fourth Kentucky Derby victory, while perennial leading Trainer Todd Pletcher, with four entries in this year's Derby, is in search of his first win.

"This year's Kentucky Derby field is one of the most competitive I've seen, the Derby draws over 100,000 fans and 40 million TV viewers and is one of the country's most celebrated sporting events. As the first leg in horse racing's coveted Triple Crown, it's also one of the biggest betting days of the year."

We have a lot of different plays that may come up for the big race but we always want to be sure before we throw out some crazy wager ideas including win/place/show, exacta, trifecta and head-to-head horse, jockey and trainer props, as well as cross-sport props. The oddsmakers are the most creative in enticing bettors to place wagers that they normally wouldnt even dream of, and they'll be harnessing that creativity as they continue to post a slew of Kentucky Derby props leading up to this weekend's big race.
