Online Horse Betting – The Factor Looks To Flex Muscles In The Arkansas Derby

Online betting for Kentucky Derby odds is still three weeks away, but it's never too late to start considering the favorites for the "Run For The Roses" at Churchill Downs. Uncle Mo has long been the favorite for the Kentucky Derby, but a disappointing performance at the Wood Memorial has opened the door for The Factor, who has a chance on Saturday to show he should be the favorite in your racebook.

The Factor is the odds-on favorite at Oaklawn Park in the Arkansas Derby on Saturday, and that shouldn't be a big surprise after he lit up the field in the Rebel Stakes, also at Oaklawn Park. The Factor raced out to the early lead and then cruised the rest of the way, via the guidance of jockey Martin Garcia, for his best win yet. Trainer Bob Baffert should be feeling very confident as The Factor will be facing horses he has beaten this year, such as Caleb's Posse, Archarcharch and Sway Away, and there's no reason to believe that they'll be able to take down The Factor this time.

Uncle Mo is holding onto his status as the favorite by a thread, as he is rated at +300, while The Factor and Dialed In are listed at +500, but Uncle Mo and Dialed In won't run again until the Kentucky Derby, leaving the door open for The Factor. If he absolutely blows away the field at Oaklawn Park this weekend, don't be surprised to see him rise to the top at your favorite betting website.

Horse Betting – Expect “The Factor” To Be A Factor At Churchill Downs

Those betting on March Madness odds have seen a couple of darkhorses reach the Final Four (although you can decide if Butler is a darkhorse or not). The Factor was thought to be a longshot in the Kentucky Derby, but with a few solid performances, he is starting to gain steam, so you may want to get in on the action while you can.

The Factor has run four races in his career since November, and three have ended in wins, including two in graded stakes races. There were worries about his ability to run over distance before The Factor ran in the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park, because his longest race was a seven-furlong affair at Santa Anita in the San Vicente Stakes. But The Factor blew through the mile-and-one-sixteenths distance like it was nothing en route to a dominating victory, and now he'll be placed in the Arkansas Derby, a Grade 1 race at Oaklawn Park that is known as one of the top prep races for the "Run for the Roses".

The Factor is also boosted by his team, as trainer Bob Baffert has won the Kentucky Derby three times, along with five other wins in the Triple Crown, and jockey Martin Garcia won the Preakness last year with Baffert and Lookin' at Lucky. Garcia has mounted The Factor to his last two victories, so the horse will be familiar with his style. When it comes to the Kentucky Derby, watch for The Factor's odds to go lower at your favorite sports wagering sites.

 

Horse Betting – Three To Watch At Churchill Downs

Horse betting players are anxiously awaiting the "Run For The Roses", better known as the Kentucky Derby, the biggest race in thoroughbred horse racing and the first jewel in the Triple Crown. The list of favorites has been released as we get closer to May 7th, and here is a look at who we think will come away with the win.

Todd Pletcher finally got his first Derby win in 25 tries last year with Super Saver, and now he's looking to make it two in a row as Uncle Mo has been installed as the favorite, and he has yet to lose in his career. Uncle Mo has been dominant in his four races so far, and jockey John Velazquez has built up a trust with the horse. He'll make his next appearance at the Wood Memorial on April 9th.

However, he'll face competition from Dialed In and Soldat, who will both be in the Florida Derby on April 3rd. Dialed In has a pair of wins and a second-place result in his three races, while Soldat has won three of his last five starts, so Florida will be a good gauge of which one has the best chance to challenge Uncle Mo.

Another factor to watch for is, who will Calvin Borel ride? Borel has won three of the last four Derbies and seems to know this place like no other jockey. Until we find out who Borel is riding at Churchill Downs, we're willing to put our money behind Uncle Mo, but finding out Borel's intentions may change our bet.

 

Horse Betting – Reviewing The 2010 Triple Crown

Horse betting players are getting ready for the big stakes races as trainers are preparing for the beginning of the Triple Crown season, which tips off with the Kentucky Derby in May. With that in mind, we're going to take a look back at the 2010 Triple Crown, starting with a trainer finally getting his win at Churchill Downs.

Kentucky Derby

Todd Pletcher was making his 25th trip to Churchill Downs, and he had a weapon in jockey Calvin Borel, who had won two of the last three Kentucky Derbies. Borel used his method of rail-riding to steer Super Saver to the victory to finally send Pletcher to the winner's circle in one of the most wide open Derbies in recent memory, and it was that way as early favorite Eskendereya was withdrawn a week before because of an injury.

Preakness Stakes

Lookin' At Lucky was the favorite at Churchill Downs before getting beat by Super Saver, but it was his time to shine at Pimlico roughly two weeks later as Martin Garcia rode him to a big win to give trainer Bob Baffert his fifth Preakness win, and first since 2002.

Belmont Stakes

Neither Super Saver or Lookin' At Lucky ran the final leg of the Triple Crown at Belmont Park, and it was slated to be a battle between Ice Box, First Dude and Fly Down in another open race. But Drosselmeyer stepped up to beat them all in the first weekend in June, and at 12-1 it definitely paid to lay a bet with him.
