The Kentucky Derby is a great betting race. The so called experts rarely win betting this race. The huge 20 horse field makes for an unpredictable event, but it also opens the door for bettors to make a great score. We’ve made more than a couple of “great scores” betting this race and will tell you straight up, we aren’t horse “experts”. Our strategy is simple. Pick 6 horses from the field that have a shot and throw them in an exacta box. We’ll generally pick a horse or two with short odds, as well as some decent priced horses as well. Not necessarily long shots, but mid range prices that can produce a nice payoff.
Lastly, we tend to favor closers. There’s nothing more exciting than watching your horse make his move and gain ground as they head towards the top of the stretch. With that in mind, listed below are Our top 6 horses in order of preference. We’ll put them in an exacta box and hope for the best!
Danza
Intense Holiday
Wicked Strong
California Chrome
Wildcat Red
Ride on Curlin
