Want a Free Bet on the Kentucky Derby? All Horse Racing Has Your Ticket
Business Wire "US Press Releases "
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
All Horse Racing (www.allhorseracing.com), an international horse racing company, today announced the start of the annual Triple Crown Challenge with a free bet on the 134th Kentucky Derby.
To celebrate "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" and the Triple Crown, All Horse Racing is offering risk free wagers on the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.
"The Derby is pure spectacle--from tony Millionaire's Row where celebrities hobnob to the testosterone charged infield--the Kentucky Derby is America's biggest party and its favorite race. If you ever place a bet on a horse in your life, it should be on the Kentucky Derby," said Leonard Manley, Director of Marketing at All Horse Racing.
What will be the winning time of the 2008 Kentucky Derby?
Last year, Street Sense snuck ahead of the field with a winning time of 2:02.17. The year before, Barbaro won in a decisive 2:01.36 victory. Will this year's winner be faster or slower than 2:01.50? At All Horse Racing, members get to place a free horse bet and find out.
Will Big Brown court martial Colonel John or will Pyro scorch the field?
Big Brown has emerged as the favorite to win the Kentucky Derby. However, the unbeaten Florida Derby winner will have to contend with some others if he is to win the Run for the Roses. California Colt Colonel John, winner of the Santa Anita Derby, had a solid practice on the track completing 5 furlongs in 57.80 seconds.
Pyro, to be guided by Shaun Bridgmohan, was a favorite with the odds makers until his disappointing 10th place finish in the Blue Grass at Keeneland. But his earlier performances indicate he is not to be taken lightly.
Finally, there is Arkansas Derby winner Gayego--ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith. Smith rode Giacomo to a fantastic surprise win in 2005. "Don't count him out," advised Manley. "This is the Derby--anything can happen--and will happen."
Ladies First?
Eight Belles, trained by Larry Jones, will be surrounded by 19 colts come Saturday. If she wins the Derby she will join only three other fillies that have achieved this feat: Winning Colors in 1988, Genuine Risk in 1980 and Regret in 1915.
Can Calvin win 2 straight with Denis of Cork?
Last year, "Rajun Cajun" Calvin Borel won in fine fashion on Street Sense. If Borel wins on Denis of Cork he will be the first jockey to win two straight Derbys since Eddie Delahoussaye did in 1982 and 1983.
"Calvin's love of the game and his commitment to racing make him a crowd pleaser even though his mount is currently at 12-1 odds. But Mr. Borel can ride the rail like few others and if the other colts get into a pack, look for him to sneak Denis of Cork's nose straight ahead of the pack," said Manley.
As soon as the Kentucky Derby is over, All Horse Racing will offer its members risk free punts for Preakness Stakes betting and Belmont Stakes betting.
