Who are you going to bet on for the Kentucky Derby 2007?

Question

I am new to horse racing and betting but I am thinking Hard Spun and Street Sense are the two top horses in this years derby. Let me know who are you going to bet on and how?

Thanks.

Answer 1

for being new to horse racing you show some good savvy.

I'd box both those in an exaxta.

Answer 2

I would bet on Street Sense  or Nobiz  Like  Shobiz.

Answer 3

i think street sense and curlin are supposed to do really good- but barbaro's legacy will never be beaten

Answer 4

This is a real deep field of runners. Actually, on paper, one of the deepest fields in a few years and a case can be made for about a dozen or so possible runners to win the race. If the race was held Monday evening, I like Cowtown Cat because of his possible odds - 7-1 or higher - and is fast improving at age three.

But Street Sense has had a lot of success at Churchill Downs and Hard Spun may also be had on Derby Day at 7-1 or higher.

Answer 5

I like Stormello, but it will all depend on the post positions that will be drawn on Wednesday.

Answer 6

Here are my top jockies to win.

1) Shaun Bridgmohan

2)Robby Albarado

3) Fernando Jara

4)Calvin Borel

5) Ramon Dominguez

6) Edgar Prado

Answer 7

I have to be honest with you on this since you are new. Sometimes the best horse doesn't win, with 20 runners it gets a little hairy at times. I always take into consideration the post positions! What if Street Sense gets hung out in gate #20?

With that said I will have a few different tri's in, and several exactas. I usually try to key one horse in the Win position, with quite a few underneath.

**I just read where Hard Spun turned in a blistering workout this morning. I don't know if that bodes well for him, he was going to be one of my top selections!
