I’ll Have Another Kentucky Derby odds were coming in at 12-1 at Sportsbook whereas they should be 20-1 or longer.

Sure he’s consistent with only one poor prep race performance. 

Following a six-month layoff, I’ll Have Another managed an upset at the Grade 2 Robert B. Lewis, winning by 2 3/4 lengths at 43-1 oddds, then followed up nine weeks later in the Santa Anita Derby with another top performance.

The problem, he’ll be coming into this race with little rest.

Worse still, he was unfortunate to receive the worst post position, number 19, a post position that has never produced a winner in the Kentucky Derby.

As if that weren’t bad enough, I’ll Have Another’s only poor performance was on the mud and rain could impact Saturday’s Derby. 

Did we mention he was getting shock therapy?

We encourage you to bet on the 2012 Kentucky Derby…just not on I’ll Have Another.

How We Follow Horse Racing Has Completely Changed

Horse racing has always been a sport built on routine. Certain days meant certain tracks, the form guide landed when it landed, and if you missed a race, you simply caught up later. Following the sport required a bit of commitment, a bit of patience, and often a bit of guesswork.
