 Online sportsbook Sportbet.com has made Sedgefield a 50 to 1 long shot to win the Kentucky Derby. Julien Leparoux will make his jockey debut riding Sedgefield and Darrin Miller will debut as the trainer. Post time is scheduled for 6:04 PM EST at Churchill Downs. Expert Horse Handicapper Anthony Stabile of VegasInsider.com has stated, “Common sense tells you that a horse that’s never raced on conventional dirt and is still eligible for a second level allowance contest that’s breaking from the rail has no chance to win the Derby. Well, only one of them can win it. We’re looking to spice up the exotics as well as find the winner. He’s a half brother to Grade 1 winning turf star English Channel so the distance shouldn’t be a question and is by the same sire as Curlin. The differences between him (Sedgefield) and Curlin are that Curlin is obviously more talented and will be around 3-1 and this guy is an unknown who’ll be 50-1. I’m going to use him (Sedgefield) in the bottom end of the tris and supers.” Sportbet.com has posted betting odds to win the 133rd Kentucky Derby: SEDGEFIELD: +5000 CURLIN: +350 ZANJERO: +1900 STORM IN MAY: +5000 IMAWILDANDCRAZYGUY: +5200 COWTOWN CAT: +1800 STREET SENSE: +380 HARD SPUN: +1200 LIQUIDITY: +2800 TEUFLESBERG: +2800 BWANA BULL: +4500 NOBIZ LIKE SHOBIZ: +700 SAM P: +2700 SCAT DADDY: +725 TIAGO: +1400 CIRCULAR QUAY: +700 STORMELLO: +2100 ANY GIVEN SATURDAY: +900 DOMINICAN: +1800 GREAT HUNTER: +1600                        |
