Saturday Afternoon Kentucky Derby 2014 Odds:  Wicked Strong Price Slashed

Saturday afternoon Kentucky Derby 2014 odds had Wicked Strong odds cut from 10-1 to 8-1 at BetDSI.com, still better than the 6-1 offered elsewhere.  ALERT!!!!  WICKED STRONG ODDS ARE FALLING SHARPLY.  YOU WILL NEED TO LOCK PRICE IN FAST.

Both Wicked Strong and the favorite California Chrome were seeing just shy of 10% of the overall Derby action apiece or 20% of the overall action total.   As of 2:20 pm EDT, California Chrome was seeing 11% of the action in this race and Wicked Strong has moved up to 10.5%.

You will want to lock in the price of Wicked Strong quickly as he just went up to +825 as of 2:20 pm EDT as we were writing this. 

Intense Holiday odds got longer by 10 cents since late morning (+810).

Elsewhere, Danza was trending downwards to +925 though we are maintaining him at 10-1 odds for the time being below.

California Chrome was back down to +225 from a peak of +245 earlier in the day.

Ride On Curlin was down to 18-1 from 20-1 earlier in the morning.

General A Rod was down to 23-1 from 26-1 odds this afternoon.

Tapiture was at 12-1 before the afternoon so Gambling911.com says lock him in here at the current 16-1 since the price will likely slide again. 

Medal Count was 23-1 and is now 18-1.
