The Kentucky Derby is usually a wide-open race that has as
many as 20 horses entered each year. The Kentucky Derby has
been full of surprises throughout the years and the favorite
has not done that well, this year was an exception. Usually
we look for horses coming off solid prep races but not
necessarily having won the races. The Kentucky Derby is full
of young horses and they are still learning. It makes for a
very difficult, but exciting race to handicap.
If you are looking to bet the 2009 Kentucky Derby we suggest
opening an account with one of trusted and recommended racebooks. The race books that we sponsor that we offer, you
can bet horses at all major tracks including Churchill Downs
and the Kentucky Derby.

Kentucky derby History
The first Kentucky Derby run took place on May 18, 1875. It
was founded by Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr., who wanted a
track to rival England's Epsom Derby.
The Kentucky Derby itself was first run at 1½ miles, the
same distance as the Epsom Derby and the Grand Prix de
Paris, on May 17, 1875, in front of an estimated crowd of
10,000 horse racing enthusiasts.
The Kentucky Derby was just a regional race until 1902, when
Colonel Matt J. Winn saved Churchill Downs from bankruptcy.
He knew little about horse racing, but he was a great
promoter.
At the time, New York was the center of horse racing in the
United States, but Winn convinced many horse owners to
participate in the Kentucky Derby. By 1920, it was the most
famous horse race in North America.
In 1908, pari-mutuel machines were restored to bet on the
Kentucky Derby. The total amount people bet on the Derby
that year came to $67,570.
In 1911, Winn reduced the minimum betting amount from $5 to
$2.
Between 1931 and 1933, the race was interrupted because of
the Great Depression.
In 1983, Churchill Down became involved in off-track betting
operations in Kentucky and riverboat gaming. The one-day
gambling record was established on June 12th: $1,060,892.
In 1996, the Kentucky Derby went online and launched
