Kentucky Derby Betting: A Break from Basketball

The first round of the NBA playoffs may soon be over but the NBA Final is still along way off. If you're looking for the perfect distraction, you may want to consider betting on the Kentucky Derby.

The first jewel in the Triple Crown, the 133rd running of the Kentucky Derby (or "Run for the Roses") takes place this Sunday, May 5, 2007 at Churchill Downs and horse racing fans from around the world will be glued to their seats -- waiting to see which horse will take the big prize.

Curlin is the current favorite at 3/1 odds to win, followed by Street Sense at 6/1, Circular Quay at 7/1, Nobiz Like Shobiz at 8/1, and Scat Daddy, also at 8/1 odds to win. (Bodog Racebook)

Scat Daddy is a steady runner and he's had great success in the Florida Derby. Circular Quay is proven over the Churchill Downs track but he hasn’t run in eight weeks. Street Sense is extremely talented and versatile and like Circular Quay he loves Churchill Downs. Curlin is undefeated in three career starts and with winning jockey Robbby Albarado in the saddle he is the slight favorite to win. But then again he's never had to compete against a field as deep as this one.
