Some call it the World Series of horse racing and this year’s
Kentucky Derby is sure to live up to all the hype.
Before placing your wager, it’s a good idea do a bit of statistical
research on each of the participants. Gathering this vital information
is a great way to train yourself and become familiar with the best
horse handicapping picks.
First and foremost, you should know that the horse with the best
numbers will not always pull out the victory. For example, Street
Sense won last year’s Kentucky Derby did not win the Triple
Crown. We all know the story of Barbaro, the winner of the 2006
Derby. Though heavily favored to win the Triple Crown, he fell out
of the race due to a terminal illness. Just like any sport, the
underdog, or in this case, the dark horse, is always something you
want to keep your eye on. These horses have a great shot at reaching
the finish line, capturing the Triple Crown and winning you a lot
of money.
Secondly, you may want to steer clear of amateur jockeys and trainers.
The best predictions lean towards a horse that has endured quality
training and is owned by a professional jockey. The past of your
Triple Crown selections should display consistency and experience
to prove they have previously competed in five to six races.
Lastly, when observing available handicapping picks you want to
make sure the horse is fit, of good health and can run at least
one and an eighth mile in a Kentucky Derby prep race. Overall, a
horse’s true potential lies in breeding and ancestry. By studying
its in-bred history you can take advantage of all the Kentucky Derby
predictions and make an informed decision.
The Kentucky Derby revs up on the first Saturday in May of 2008
at the world renowned Churchill Downs track in Louisville, Kentucky.
This is without a doubt one of the most anticipated sporting events
of the year. Be sure that your bets for the 134th annual Kentucky
Derby are placed before Saturday, May 3rd at 6 p.m.
