April 15 - When the dust settled on Saturday's prep races one thing was clear: CURLIN was going to be the undisputed favorite to with the 2007 Kentucky Derby come Sunday. The undefeated colt turned in a jaw-dropping display in the Arkansas Derby, simply crushing the field by a distance, and capturing the imagination of the American betting public.

Before the race was even run news emerged that CURLIN was attracting plenty of betting support in the third and final Kentucky Derby futures betting pool, which opened up on Thursday. He was the 6/1 favorite by Saturday morning according to ESPN, but Street Sense was also right up there at similar odds and the Run For The Roses still had a wide open look to it.
No more. Street Sense was narrowly beaten in the Blue Grass and it was avery tough race for the first four horses that will take plenty out of them. There is also now a bona fide champion in the Kentucky Derby field, a potential Triple Crown winner, and his name is Curlin. He romped to victory at Oaklawn in a pulverizing display that will have online sportsbooks slashing his odds to somewhere shorter than 3/1 for sure.
We would like to mention that we told you to bet on Curlin in an April 6 article at the odds of 12/1. Can you say the word "arbitrage"? There is a lot of luck in horse racing and Curlin will need to avoid the many bad forms it can take - but assuming he stays healthy for the next three weeks and gets a reasonably clean run at Churchill Downs it is hard to envisage him not winning on May 5.
You can bet on the Kentucky Derby right now at Bodog's sportsbook, and on all daily horse racing cards at their Racebook.
