Bet On Verrazano Kentucky Derby

Many Kentucky Derby bettors are looking to place their future bets on the 2013 Kentucky Derby in advance and so far the early favorite to win the 139th Kentucky Derby is Verrazano, a horse trained by the legendary Todd Pletcher. Similar to last year’s Kentucky Derby when many believed Gemologist would have a legtimate shot at winning the Triple Crown, that is how bettors are feeling about Verrazano this year. On a sidenote you can visit the Bovada online sportsbook now to see what the latest betting odds on Verrazano are for the Kentucky Oaks & Derby.

This past Saturday Verrazano turned a lot of heads with his win at the Wood Memorial, just like trainer Todd Pletcher guaranteed. Verrazano is a colt that has never been beaten and the Kentucky Derby doesn’t look like it will be able to tame the colt either. Louisville Cardinals head coach, Rick Pitino, has been getting much deserved notoriety as of late as well with his horse Goldencents coming off of a big win at the Santa Anita Derby. There are only 2 more signigifcant prep races leading up to the 2013 Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 4th, 2013 at Churchill Downs. Next up for Verrazano as the colt prepares for the Kentucky Derby will be the Blue Grass Stakes, followed by the Arkansas Derby. The Blue Grass Stakes takes place on Saturday, April 13th, 2013 at the Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky. Then after the Blue Grass Stakes we can look forward to Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park which is in Hot Springs, Arkansas. This race is also today, Saturday, April 13th, 2013 and will be televised on NBA at 6:30 PM EST. The purse of the Arkansas Derby is current $1,000,000.00 which would be a nice feather in the cap for Todd Pletcher if Verrazano can pull off the Derby win.
