Kentucky Derby Online Betting - 134th Rendition
Although
it looked like some sour weather might
dampen the 134th rendition of the Kentucky
Derby online betting festivities, the
forecast has cleared up for the most
part for this Saturday. Handicapping
the Run for the Roses might be as tough
as ever since so many horses don’t
have enough experience on conventional
dirt. Here are three horses to look at
when you are placing your horse bets
this weekend:
Adriano
Not to be
mixed up with the famed soccer player,
Adriano will be among Big Brown’s
competition at the Derby. Adriano has been
tabbed as somewhat of a turf horse since
two of his three wins have been on turf
while the third was on polytrack. His only
race on dirt resulted in a ninth place
finish in the Fountain of Youth Stakes.
Trainer Graham
Motion wasn’t sold
on the idea of committing Adriano to the
Derby, but after a few practice sessions
at Churchill Downs, he cozied to the idea.

The good
news is that there aren’t
a ton of horses in the field that have
more experience than Adriano on conventional
dirt. Colonel John and Bob Black have yet
to race on it and Cowboy Cal didn’t
win in his only try.
Adriano seems
to be maturing at the right time and
after a dominating performance at Lane’s
End, we’ll
find out if he can do better than his
pitiful first start on dirt.

Big Brown
What can Brown
do for you? That will be the biggest question
of the Derby as Big Brown enters the race
as the leader of the pack. He’s unbeaten in three races
and trainer Richard Dutrow is confident – borderline
cocky – that he’ll win. Big Brown
is inexperienced but gained most of his acclaim
by winning the Florida Derby on March 26th.
He didn’t just eke out a win, he won
by five lengths.
But how much does inexperience factor? Big
Brown has only three races under his belt,
which makes kind of like a rookie quarterback
starting the Super Bowl.
Curlin finished
third in a similar situation last year
but if Big Brown won, it would be the first
time since 1915 that such an inexperienced
horse won. But Big Brown enters the 134th
Kentucky Derby with the biggest winning
margin of any unbeaten horse in the Derby’s
history.
Colonel John
Colonel John
has dominated most of his races in California
but again, those tracks were synthetic.
Most trainers will tell you that the track
makes no difference, but that’s
nothing more than “coach speak”.
But Colonel John will be making his first
start on conventional dirt at Churchill Downs,
which like many of the horses in this races,
makes him hard to handicap.
Going by bloodlines, his family tree indicates
that he should be able to handle the track
and given the lack of other evidence with
some of the other horses, this at least gives
his case some support.
It’s just there isn’t
conclusive proof that he can handle the
change of surfaces in stride but that evidence
might come this Saturday.
