Guest contributor: Frank Taddeo @RespectedMoney on X / Twitter. This long-time Vegas handicapper has correctly picked 4 of the last 5 Kentucky Derby races. It's an unheard of performance including last year's trifecta wager which paid an astounding 982 to 1. Without further ado...
The “Fastest Two Minutes in Sports” has finally arrived with a strong field of 20 entrants.
My “Respected Money” formula is looking to nail the Kentucky Derby winner for the fifth time in the last six years!
Kentucky Derby Betting Angles/Trends:
- The post-time favorite has won six of the last 11 runnings of the Kentucky Derby. However, the last five post-time favorites have all been defeated.
- No horse in the history of the race has ever won the Kentucky Derby breaking from post No. 17 (0-44). This year Stronghold will try and make history. No UAE Derby winner has ever hit the board in the Kentucky Derby to date - Forever Young, nor has any Japan-based horse - TO Password.
- The last horse to win from the No. 1 post position was Ferdinand in 1986. This year the dreaded rail has been drawn by Dornach (20/1).
- No horse has won the Kentucky Derby breaking from post No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3 since Real Quiet in 1998. Those looking to back Sierra Leone and Mystik Dan to win need to add that into their handicapping.
