Gambling911.com has your 2018 Louisiana Derby betting odds with Bravazo and Noble Indy the odds-on favorites at 7/2.
This race is run on 1⅛ miles (9 furlongs) of dirt.
This is an important prep race for the upcoming Kentucky Derby. Two winners of the Louisiana Derby have gone on to win the Kentucky Derby including Black Gold in 1924 and Grindstone in 1996. The 1988 winner, Risen Star, went on to win that year’s Preakness and Belmont Stakes races.
The purse was still $1 million in 2018.
Bravazo will receive a jockey change, as Miguel Mena, who rode him in the Risen Star, is sidelined with a fractured ankle and broken heel.
