2016 Kentucky Derby Win-Place-Show Free Picks

I have been following this year's crop of top three-year old thoroughbreds since early last summer when they were just starting their racing career as juveniles. This Saturday at Churchill Downs, one of the top 20 horses in this group will take the next big step towards greatness with a win in the 142nd Kentucky Derby. This is horse racing's biggest single betting event of the year and this year's field is shaping-up to be one of the most competitive in recent memory.

I am two-for-two in my winning picks for the last two "Run for the Roses", but in all fairness, California Chrome in 2014 and American Pharoah last year went off as prohibitive favorites. This year things are a bit different with Nyquist listed as a 3/1 favorite on the morning line followed by Exaggerator as an 8/1 second favorite. Next on the list is a trio of horses at 10/1 betting odds that includes Mohaymen, Gun Runner and Creator to round-out the top five horses in the field. Moving down the list, you also have quality contenders in trainer Bob Baffert's Mor Spirit at 12/1 and a pair of Todd Pletcher-trained horses in Outwork and Destin at 15/1 odds to win.

As part of my horse racing picks for SportsBettingStats.com, I have thoroughly handicapped the entire 20-horse field to come-up with my top choices to win, show and place in Saturday's race. I also have my eye on a 20/1 longshot that could be poised to upset the field at Churchill Downs. Below is the link to the article.
