Gambling911.com has your 2017 Arkansas Derby betting odds for this important Kentucky Derby prep race.
The Arkansas Derby ends this year’s Kentucky Derby prep season.
It is open to three-year-old horses and run on dirt at 1⅛ miles (9 furlongs). The purse for this race is a sweet $1 million.
The 2017 winner of the Arkansas Derby, American Pharoah, went on to win the Triple Crown.
This year’s favorite is Malagacy at 2-1. He will be starting from the outside post.
The $190,000 2-year-old purchase was listed at 6-1 odds in his first start and has since gone on a perfect 4-0 run.
“He never really tipped his hand until maybe his final breeze before his debut, and he looked good there,” trainer Todd Pletcher said. “Obviously in his debut he was very good. But no, he's not what I would describe as an impressive horse to watch gallop on a daily basis.
“He's pretty laid back, pretty borderline lazy really. He's one of those horses in his breezes that he does however much his workmate will do. So depending on how you have him matched up in the mornings, he'll stay with whoever his workmate is. But he's not what I'd describe as an overachiever in the mornings. He's laid back to the point to where you're not 1,000 percent sure how good he is until you start running him.”
