Big Brown Odds to Win the 2008 Kentucky Derby Now at 4/1

Suddenly Big Brown isn't looking like the horse to beat at this weekend's Kentucky Derby.  Big Brown's odds to win the 2008 Kentucky Derby were originally set at 2/1.  Following the post positions announcement on Wednesday, he is now listed with 4 to 1 odds and suddenly the payout potential gets that much better ($400 for every $100 bet at Bodog Life)

Big Brown was also tied as the favorite with Colonel John.

Bodog Life's price on Big Brown was much better than Vegas, which instilled him as a 3/1 favorite.  Bodog offers a maximum wager of $500 on the Kentucky Derby winner and an ultimate payout possibility of $2000 on Big Brown.

Undefeated in all three of his career starts, the Richard Dutrow jnr-trained Big Brown will break from the far 20th slot with Kent Desormeaux aboard in Saturday's 134th running of the two million-dollar 1 1/4-mile race.

"I figure we're happy enough with our draw," Dutrow said. "We have a pretty quick horse out of the gate. He could just pop right out of there and get good position and try to keep it."

Big Brown enters the first of the three Triple Crown races - which continue with the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes - with an impressive resume.

He has won his three career races by a combined 29 lengths.

In his latest race, Big Brown proved starting from the outside 12th post was no obstacle as he roared to a five-length victory in the Florida Derby on March 29.

No horse from the 11th or 12th post had won a 1 1/8-mile race since the Gulfstream track was reconfigured four years ago.

The Kentucky Derby is the second most bet on one day event in the United States.  Massive traffic number began pouring in for Kentucky Derby betting at Gambling911.com from all over the world on Wednesday.
