With multiple ways to bet on this year’s Kentucky Derby, we picked out three of our favorite props to target.
Hope Hicks reveals Trump’s reaction to ‘Access Hollywood’ tape while testifying in ‘hush money’ trialBetting on specific horses is usually going to be the main wager on Derby Day, but when it comes to the Kentucky Derby – the biggest horse racing and betting day of the year – there are plenty of other bets available.
Even if you’re of the belief that it’s a two-horse race, there’s probably only one that can stay ahead of the pack for the entire race, and that’s; Fierceness. If you’re backing Sierra Leone, hailed as a fantastic closer, your route to victory is a well-calculated final push, not a full two minutes of dominance.This is a slightly dicey one as there’s a bit of subjectivity, so we’re going to grab two options, each of which can be a play much smaller than a unit due to the long odds.
Fierceness will most likely hop out to a lead, and we’ll wait to see if he’s able to just hang on or if Sierra Leone’s comeback bid will be a success. Either way, expect this one to come down to the wire. This line is set due in part to the very real possibility of sloppy conditions on a rainy Saturday in Louisville. That being said, six of the past eight Derbys have come in below this number, including the unbelievably rainy 2018 edition.
