 Horse racing trainer Steve Asmussen (0-7) will look to capture the first jewel in the Triple Crown of Horse Racing as jockey Shaun Bridgmohan (0-2) rides three year old colt Pyro, the winner of the Louisiana Derby. Pyro took on eight challengers in the Louisiana Derby in early March as he ran to a 3 length win with a winning time of 1:44.44. Most Kentucky Derby Prediction Experts agree that Pyro is a great value bet at 7 to 1 odds with BodogLife.com. Post 9 - Pyro Kentucky Derby Prediction: 7 to 1 at BodogLife.com Trainer: Steve Asmussen (0-7) Jockey: Shaun Bridgmohan (0-2) Checkout what horse racing experts think of Pyro as a Kentucky Derby Prediction: "From hero to zero in a month, this guy was going to be vying for favoritism and now he's the forgotten soul," stated Kentucky Derby Prediction Expert Anthony Stabile of VegasInsider.com. "I'll be honest, I do not like what's been going on with him lately. On the other hand, what if it WAS the Polytrack last out and all is well? They'll be plenty of people kicking themselves if that's the case. I'm going to use him on the bottom of my trifectas and superfectas and save with him in some Pick 3's and Pick 4's." “I don’t take anything away from Pyro just because of his dismal Bluegrass effort, I do prefer Colonel John,” stated the horse racing experts at TheAspiringHorsePlayer.com. “In fact, I’m anointing Colonel John as my official Derby selection.” “Despite his poor finish in the Bluegrass its hard to forget about this guy,” stated horse racing experts at GradedStakes.com. “His wins in the Risen Star and Louisiana Derby were very impressive. Distance is no longer a worry from my viewpoint, considering his explosive style. Let’s not forgot that this one was training with Curlin earlier in his career. Expect Asmussen to have this horse ready, no excuses if he loses.” BodogLife.com has odds for the 2008 Kentucky Derby: Cool Coal Man: 50/1 Tale of Ekati: 25/1 Anak Nakal: 66/1 Court Vision: 16/1 Eight Belles: 16/1 Z Fortune: 12/1 Big Truck: 20/1 Visionaire: 16/1 Pyro: 7/1 Colonel John: 5/1 Z Humor: 66/1 Smooth Air: 25/1 Bob Black Jack: 25/1 Monba: 20/1 Adriano: 20/1 Denis of Cork: 14/1 Cowboy Cal: 50/1 Recapturetheglory: 33/1 Gayego: 25/1 Big Brown: 3/1                        |
