Kentucky Derby Odds Shift in Curlin's Favor

By the looks of most Kentucky Derby future odds, Padua Stables' Curlin will be the horse to beat in the 133rd "Run for the Roses" on May 5th.

Currently favored at 4/1, this hard-racing son of Smart Strike and Sherrif's Deputy has recorded three wins in three starts, and so far generated earnings of more than $800,000. The odds have shifted in Curlin's favor with his most recent victory of 10 1/2 lengths in the Arkansas Derby.

Previous favorite and Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Street Sense is now appearing at 5/1 in futures, followed by Nobiz Like Shobiz at 6/1.

Street Sense was recently beaten at the wire by longshot Dominican in the Blue Grass Stakes. Another Derby contender, Any Given Saturday, edged out Nobiz like Shobiz in the Wood Memorial.
