See what the horse racing experts have to say on a Big Truck 2008 Kentucky Derby Bet:
"Save the T.B. Derby, his only other wins have come in maiden and allowance contests against New York breds," stated Kentucky Derby Bet Expert Anthony Stabile of VegasInsider.com. "I'm not quite sure how he'll handle the distance though his running style and apparent desire to go further may overcome his pedigree. Don't let the Blue Grass scare you off if you like him, like most of those raced poorly, he probably didn't care for the Polytrack at Keeneland. He'll be a big, big price so I'm using him on the bottom of trifectas and superfectas."
“Got some of the worst of it in the Blue Grass, but I'm not sure he's as talented as his stablemate,“ stated the horse racing experts at Superfecta Blog.
