 Jockey Mike Smith will be looking to bring back some championship glory when he rides Paulo Lobo trained three year old colt Gayego on Saturday March 3rd, 2008 in the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Internet Racebook SportsBetting.com has made Kentucky Derby bets on Gayego priced at 15 to 1 odds which is a far cry from the 50 to 1 win Smith had in the 2005 Kentucky Derby on long shot winner Giacomo. Post 19 - Gayego Kentucky Derby Bets: 15 to 1 at SportsBetting.com Trainer: Paulo Lobo (Debut) Jockey: Mike Smith (1-14) See what the horse racing experts have to say about making Kentucky Derby bets on Gayego: "Many feel he gives hope to the horses that have never raced on dirt because he won on dirt last out," stated Kentucky Derby Bets Expert Anthony Stabile of VegasInsider.com. "That's easily one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. Each horse will react differently - he just so happened to like it. I don't think it'll matter. He beat nothing last out and needed a perfect trip to do so. Also, he'll be a shorter price than he should be off that effort. I'm throwing him out." “The question has to be whether or not the Derby will take it's toll on the horse,” stated Gibbon Jockey Blog in their Kentucky Derby Preview of Gayego. “There's no doubt he'll be among the early leaders, and we've seen him rate very nicely. Will he be able to fend off three or four closers? Will he be able to respond as gamely as he did at Oaklawn while stretching to an unfamiliar distance under excruciatingly hard racing conditions? Can't be certain.” SportsBetting.com has posted horse racing betting odds on various 2008 Kentucky Derby Bets : Adriano: 20 - 1 Anak Nakal: 50 - 1 Big Brown: 8 - 5 Big Truck: 35 - 1 Bob Black Jack: 30 - 1 Colonel John: 4 - 1 Cool Coal Man: 25 - 1 Court Vision: 15 - 1 Cowboy Cal: 30 - 1 Denis of Cork: 25 - 1 Eight Belles: 20 - 1 Gayego: 15 - 1 Monba: 18 - 1 Pyro: 5 - 1 Recapture The Glory: 30 - 1 Smooth Air: 30 - 1 Tale Of Ekati: 20 - 1 Visionaire: 20 - 1 Z Fortune: 18 - 1 Z Humor: 50 - 1                        |
