Kentucky Derby- Advance Betting in the Kentucky Derby
2021-04-07
The Kentucky derby has the most informative advance bets that can ever be made in any kind of sport. This is because the Kentucky derby horses are under high scrutiny concerning any information that the public is given. There are guidelines to follow either way if you want to make the most use of the money you are wagering for. Do not believe in any hype to begin with. Most horses get a lot of press attention during their two year term in the Kentucky derby but during their third year, they totally disappoint you. For instance in early 2011, a horse known as Tapizar received so much press while during its third year it became fifth position. According to the press releases, the other inferior horse that it lost to was never even commonly known to people.
Another rule to remember is not to pay attention to any early speed figures in this career rather focus on the ease in which one can be able to pick up a win. During the 2010 Kentucky derby for instance, the winner picked his first stake win after three years in the career with a speed of 83 which is not close to the Triple Crown of course. Therefore many people tend to focus on the speed figure which brought him to victory rather than how he did it. Rankings of the pre-derby are very important. However, the most important thing is the realization that a new three year old horse is still not fully matured. A horse reaches its racing maturity when it becomes five years in the season. Another thing to note is that one bad race for a horse does not mean that its Triple Crown’s bid has to come to a halt. There are usually reasons why potential horses do not win races and it is up to handicapper to know what these reasons are.
Workouts are mostly over looked when it comes to the development of a three year old. As a horse develops from a two year to a three year old, you should increase the workout speed. It is a good sign of a horse that is developing. Sometimes trainers ease their training speed as the month of May approaches. This allows the horse to have fresh legs for the main Kentucky derby race. Those are some of the rules to follow when thinking of betting in advance for the Derby.
