Latest Kentucky Derby odds 2012

Latest Kentucky Derby odds 2012 Less than a couple of weeks away from the most popular horse race in the world, the Kentucky Derby, and it's time to look at the latest 2012 Kentucky Derby odds. Much has changed since the last time we previewed the betting odds on the Kentucky Derby and the updated lines are sure to surprise some folks.

We have always encouraged bettors to bet the odds on the Kentucky Derby as early as they possibly can and this latest shift of the 2012 Derby betting odds is a proof of our foresight we have gained with years of keeping track of the popular Run for the Roses. As you can see, Bodemeister is now the favorite to win the 2012 Kentucky Derby with odds 9/2, while just a week ago when we reviewed the betting lines on the Derby we saw Bodemeister with the long odds 20/1 to win the famous horse race. For those who were watching Bodemeister and wagered at 20/1 – that's more than 3 times the return compared to the latest odds of just 9/2. And keep in mind that with plenty of time remaining on the clock until the gates open, even those odds are likely to shorten as bets come in at the sportsbooks.

Bodemeister is sharing the Kentucky Derby favorite spot with the previous top horse – Union Rags. The odds on Union Rags to win the 2012 Kentucky Derby are now at 9/2, a small shift from the previously posted 7/2 favorite odds. The latest Kentucky Derby odds however saw no shift with the line on Gemologist, which is still at 7/1 to win the first leg of the Triple Crown in May. We will continue to monitor and bring you the latest Kentucky Derby odds.
