If you are looking to bet
the 2008 Kentucky Derby we suggest opening an account with one of trusted
and recommended racebooks. The racebooks that we sponsor offer daily horse track betting and horse betting odds to all major tracks including Churchill Downs and
the Kentucky Derby.
In addition
to the race itself, a number of traditions have played a large role in the
Derby atmosphere. The Mint Julep, an iced drink consisting of bourbon,
mint and sugar, is the traditional beverage of the race. Burgoo, typically
a thick stew of lamb and vegetables is served from iron pots sometimes 10
feet in diameter.
Legal gambling on the race is done through parimutuel betting at the
track. The Infield, a spectator area inside the track, offers low general
admission prices but little chance of seeing much of the race. Instead,
revelers show up in the infield to party. By contrast, "Millionaire's Row"
refers to the expensive box seats that attract the rich and famous.
Elegant women appear in long dresses, big hats, and carrying fancy
umbrellas. As the horses are paraded before the grandstands, "My Old
Kentucky Home" is played by the University of Louisville marching band
while the crowd stands and sings along.

Kentucky Derby Winners & Results
2008 Kentucky Derby 134 Winner - Big Brown,
overcoming the far outside post, rolled to a
five-length victory Saturday in the 134th running of
the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. The
three-year-old, unbeaten in four career starts, can
now become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978.
Big Brown, the 2-1 favorite in the 20 horse field,
becomes the first winner of the Run for the Roses to
start from the 20-post since the starting gate has
been used. It also is the third Kentucky Derby win
for jockey Kent Desormeaux who previously captured
the race in 1998 with Real Quiet and with Fusaichi
Pegasus two years later. |

Big Brown was coming into
the Run for the Roses off a wire-to-wire victory in the
Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park. The Kentucky Derby
triumph was worth $1.4 million to bring Big Brown's
lifetime earnings to more than $2 million.
The colt is expected to start in the Preakness Stakes on
May 17 at Pimlico, where he should be a prohibitive
favorite. The third leg in racing's Triple Crown is the
Belmont Stakes which will be conducted on June 7 at
Belmont Park.
Big Brown returned $6.80, $5.00 and $4.80. Eight Belles
paid $10.60 and 6.40, and Denis of Cork paid $11.60 to
show.
Affirmed is the last three-year-old to sweep the Triple
Crown races when he and Alydar put on their monumental
duels 30 years ago.

Kentucky Derby 133 Winner -
Kentucky Derby winner
Street Sense
An
experienced trainer, an inspired rider and the raw
talent of a powerful thoroughbred proved an unstoppable
combination Saturday, as 9-2 favorite Street Sense
rallied from far back to post a 2¼-length length victory
over Hard Spun in the 133rd Kentucky Derby.
The $2
million Kentucky Derby (G1), the first leg of the Triple
Crown and the ultimate target for every horse owner, was
contested at Churchill Downs on Saturday before a crowd
of 156,635. Sunny skies were a welcome change from the
wet conditions on Friday. A maximum field size of 20
went to post, with Street Sense sent off as the 9-5
favorite attempting to become the first Breeders' Cup
Juvenile winner to come back to win the Derby.
Undefeated Curlin, off his win in the Arkansas Derby at
Oaklawn, was the 5-1 second choice over Florida Derby
winner Scat Daddy at 7-1. Hard Spun, winner of the
Lane's End Stakes, was the 10-1 fourth choice over Wood
Memorial winner Nobiz Like Shobiz at 10.40-1 odds.
