Betting on the 2008 Kentucky Derby: Horsing Around
Horseplay is always a good thing. When you’re looking for a championship thoroughbred, you’re looking for a winning attitude as well as superior genetics – same as any human athlete, for that matter.
Big Brown’s cult of personality was in evidence Thursday at Churchill Downs, as crowds gathered to watch the 3-1 Derby favorite tear off three furlongs in 35.4 seconds, the fastest of 19 horses to do so. His demeanor was cool and confident, every bit the king in this Sport of Kings. Big Brown could run for President of the United States – although they’d have to lower the minimum age from 35 to three.
Second favorite Colonel John (5-1) isn’t being talked about in the same poetic terms as Big Brown, but trainer Eoin Harty also noted how relaxed and confident his horse was after Thursday morning’s work. There may be value in Colonel John simply because the public hasn’t fallen in love with him – yet.
