5 Most Popular 2012 Kentucky Derby Horses Bet On

Carrie Stroup here with your 5 most popular 2012 Kentucky Derby horses bet thus far coming into Wednesday night’s post position draw.  Sportsbook was offering betting on the Derby with up to 8 percent back daily on losses. 

Union Rags was getting the most betting action as the co-favorite with Bodemeister.  Both horses had odds of winning the Derby set at 9/2.  Bodemeister was the second most wagered on Derby contender.

Gemologist was getting the third heaviest action at 7/1 odds followed by Hansen at 14/1 and Alpha at 11/1. 

Expect Hansen’s odds to get a little shorter should this trend continue.
