Edge, we are inching closer and
closer to the first Saturday in May, and that means
the Kentucky Derby. And if we're talking Derby, we're talking
betting, the most straightforward wager to make
in a horse. Race is a win bet. It's pretty self-explanatory.
If you bet on a horse and they go on and win the race,
you cash your ticket if you're looking to place a win wager on
a horse in this year's Derby. Look no further than epicenter
who is going to be one of the more likely winners of this
year's Kentucky Derby
trained by Steve asmussen. Most
Currently winner
of the Louisiana Derby and he did. So, in very impressive
fashion. He's really done nothing wrong throughout his
career. And the beauty of a horse like epicenter is his
versatility.
He can go right to the lead or he can sit off of a Target and
be just as effective. He's one of the mile and three
sixteenths, got to stretch out an extra sixteenth of a mile to
get the mile and a quarter.
The first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs, but everything
suggests. He should be able to get it done, who knows. Maybe
epicenter will be the horse to get Steve asmussen, his first
win in the Run for the Roses.
One of the more appealing Wagers that you can make in
a race like the Kentucky Derby because there are 20, horses
running is a place bet and play spreads, pretty simple.
You met a horse to place and they finish first or second you
cash, your ticket. Why is it appealing in a 20 horse field?
Because there are so many options. Your place price is
typically elevated compared to what
it would be on any given day at a racetrack where there's only
eight or nine horses running in twenty horse field, placed bets
typically pay. Very well. And if you're looking for a horse
to consider as far as a placing option is concerned,
maybe table the winner of the Santa Anita Derby. He was very,
very impressive in only his second lifetime. Start for
trainer. Timmy, octene will find out. If the Kentucky Derby
is a little bit too much to ask in a rather short amount of
time,
but the sky is the limit from a potential standpoint and Tabor
represents a prime option for a place bet. First Saturday in
May.
It may be a little bit more conservative, but a wager that
you may want to consider in a race. The Kentucky Derby is
a show bet
and show bed is very simple. If your horse runs first, second
or third, you cash your ticket. Now
again, it's a little more conservative than a twin bed or
even a place bet. But in the grand scheme of things, because
there were 20 horses, running your horse finishing the top
three. You're still going to get a pretty healthy return
on a show, wager in a race like the Derby.
If you're looking for an option,
for a horse to bet on,
perhaps, to run in the top three in this year's Derby.
About Chad Brown zenden who won the Bluegrass at keeneland's in
his most. Recent start, sanding is a horse that will do his
running from off the pace. But the thing about zenden you
don't need to worry about is his ability to handle a mile
and a quarter at Churchill Downs.
The first Saturday in may
look fors and in to be running on late, and if you place
a show bet on him,
good chance, you're gonna cash.
We've already gone over win place and show Wagers
there on. The more simplistic side, little more complex,
is an Exacta in order to catch. An exact a wager you need to
pick the runners who finish first and second in the exact
order.
Now, that's not the easiest thing to do. If you're someone
who wants to use a few different horses though. And
say, if any of them finish first or second, I want to be
able to cash. You can always box your exact.
I think a horse like epicenter is very likely to run in
the top two. I think we can seize andin run in the top two Mo
Donegal could also run inside the top 20 and don't forget
about table coming in from the West Coast, maybe even Messier.
Another Horses based out at Santa Anita, an Exacta. You're
going to get a much healthier payout than you would on a win
place or show wager. But a lot of that has to do with
the complicated nature of it.
It's not an easy wager to hit
but to lucrative one, if you do
we inch closer and closer to the first Saturday in May. And
one of the main bets that people focus on for the Derby,
is the trifecta. Now, in order to cash a trifecta wager, you
need to correctly, identify the first second and third place
finishers in the race in
And order. If you do that, you're going to get paid very,
very well 20 horses in the race. It's not an easy wager to
hit. But if you're looking at it from a strategic standpoint,
we often see favorites. Run inside the top three in some
fashion,
but year in and year out. There's always at least one big
big price that makes a run to possibly get up for second or
third. Perhaps this year,
a horse like Barber Road could be that horse should be every
bit of 32. One is a horse that runs from the back of the pack.
Passing tired horses at the end of the race.
May not be good enough to win.
If you're playing a trifecta, maybe he's the kind of horse.
You want to use in third at a big, big price to spice up your
exotic Wagers?
