Kentucky Derby: Odds still favor Curlin and Street Sense

One day away from the first leg of the Triple Crown 2007, the 133rd Kentucky Derby, and betting odds are still in favor of Street Sense and Curlin to win the race.

2007 Kentucky Derby Curlin is still the overall favorite with odds 7/2, followed by Street Sense with betting odds 4/1, according to the online betting site Bodog Racebook. Steve Asmussen, trainer of Curlin, is not worried about the post position, although he said he would prefer to have been a little further outside. On the other side, the trainer of Street Senese, Carl Nafzger, with post draw 7, is looking forward to the Kentucky Derby with much better position.

Circular Quay with trainer Todd Pletcher, who has five horses in the Kentucky Derby this year, is another contender for the race wit odds 8/1.

There is a possibility for a wet track tomorrow. According to the Weather Channel, thunderstorms are expected on Saturday over Louisville, Kentucky, which may drastically change the outcome of the Derby, as not all of the contenders perform as well on damp track.

The Kentucky Derby post time is May 5th at 6:04pm EST.
