Online racebook BetUS.com has posted 18 to 1 betting odds on Cowtown Cat to win the Kentucky Derby today. Todd Pletcher trained Cowtown Cat and he will be ridden by jockey Fernando Jara.
Expert Horse Handicapper Anthony Stabile of VegasInsider.com has stated the following about Cowtown Cat, "I have a strange feeling he’s going to be a semi-wiseguy horse come race time. And if I’m to play the devil’s advocate here, I can see why some people would like him. He seems to have matured a lot this season, winning 3 of 4 including his two stakes races around two turns. He drew well and Jara has come up aces in some big spots thus far in his short career. Still, I think he’s a bit slower than these, hasn’t beaten much and figures to be part of the early pace scenario. I’m passing on the first of Pletcher’s five starters."
