The betting markets for the 2011 Kentucky Derby have been going into overdrive ever since the odds were floated after the barrier draw on Wednesday.
Until now those outside the USA have been neglected but Australia finally gets its chance to mark a mark on the 2011 Kentucky Derby with betting now open at SportingBet.
In exclusive early markets not found on any other bookmaker you can take your pick of one of the most even races in the events 137 year history.
In fact just three horses are listed below a double figure quote with all but one of the field under $35 odds.
Dialed In is listed as the early favourite and is pretty much unmoved from a $4.40 quote.
The big question mark of the race though is Uncle Mo, a horse few disagree is the best in the field on his day but things haven’t gone to plan in recent times.
He suffered his first loss last start when finishing 3rd and it was then revealed he’s battling an infection, still though, punters think even not at 100% he’s a big go and he’s settled as a $5 second favourite.
Third on the list is Nehro at $8.50, a horse which despite his prominence in the market has flown under the radar somewhat and avoided much of the media attention felt but other runners.
Midnight Interlude is one of those starters who’s been well documented in the media with more than a few predicting his meteoric rise from country races can continue in the 2011 Kentucky Derby.
He’s on $10 narrowly ahead of a bunch of horse which can barely be split by punters.
Grouped together on an $11 quote are Soldat and Mucho Macho Man just shading Archarcharch and Shackleford at $12.
One point further adrift is Master Of Hounds at $13 before the numbers starts to drift.
The $17 quote for Animal Kingdom is the last below $20 with the rest of the field caught between $21 – $34.
There’s only one exception to that rule which is Watch Me Go, the roughie of the field out by himself at a $51 price.
