It's that time again! The first race of the 2011 Triple Crown is here, with the "Run for the Roses." This is the time where fans will invade Churchill soaking up the day of races while sipping mint juleps. More fans will head to OTB sites to watch and bet on the race. Yes, it's not the Super Bowl of thoroughbred racing (that title belongs to Breeders Cup weekend), but it is a vital role in the industry. So with that aside, 20 horses were entered, but Uncle Mo (18) was scratched. And the live odds posted as of now at the Kentuckyderby.com, the race's official site:
8. Dialed In 5-1 (Nick Zito trainer, Leparoux jockey)
7. Pants on Fire 7-1
13. Mucho Macho Man 9-1
3. Twice the Appeal 10-1
15. Midnight Interlude 10-1
19. Nehro 10-1
1. Archarcharch 13-1
17. Soldat 14-1
4. Stay Thirsty 15-1
11. Master of Hounds 18-1
16. Animal Kingdom 21-1
14. Shackleford 23-1
2. Brilliant Speed 25-1
10. Twinspired 28-1
20. Watch Me Go 28-1
9. Derby Kitten 32-1
12. Santiva 33-1
6. Comma to the Top 35-1
5. Decisive Moment 36-1
And once again Uncle Mo, scheduled to go out at post 18, has been scratched.
So there you have it, post time is at 5:23pm CDT live on NBC!
As for my last minute picks
WIN: 8 Dialed In
PLACE: 19 Nehro
SHOW 3 Twice the Appeal (with Calvin Borel as the jockey!)
Enjoy!
