Kentucky Derby 2014

Hollywood has opened ante-post betting for the Kentucky Derby this weekend. Final field gets announced on Wednesday at 23:00 (SA time).

They reckon it has been pouring at Churchill Downs. An incredible photo here of TAPITURE (20/1) performing his gallop from the DRF.

Thanks Dev...very lekker pic

Is Mike Smith riding in the race?

Dev,

Where do you get the betting from? The final field and Morning Line will only be announced on Wednesday.....

In my opinion CC is ridiculously short in your betting. I will lay you guys 200/1 about We Miss Artie.

You can really get hurt on hoppertunity and especially intense holiday. he may open 3rd or 4th choice at about 12/1 i would say. He worked gangbusters on Sunday.

I think your betting is a little skewed....

See Mike Smith is gonna be riding Hoppertunity....seems like the horse will like the wet going if rain on the day.....my pick for sure...

The betting is based on UK betting shops not US prices. It may be accurate but it may seriously not be. We will find out on Wednesday in the us when they do the draws and ML.

Kentucky Oaks gets announced tonight at 5pm. Will get the fields and betting up tomorrow morning.

Watch out for untapable

Likely to be a very short favourite, even odds on. Was evens on the ante-post.
