Caesars Entertainment has expanded its reach in legal sports betting to two more states. Caesars Sportsbook has joined Kansas Crossing Casino & Hotel with a retail sports betting venue in Pittsburg, Kansas. The partnership should lead to online betting for the mobile Caesars Sportsbook all through the Kansas border.

In Kentucky, a partnership between Caesars Sportsbook and two in-state horse racing tracks should lead to both retail and online sports betting. Keeneland Race Course and Red Mile Gaming & Racing have both recently announced that Caesars is the official sportsbook for in-person and online sports betting in Kentucky.

My 2023 Preakness Stakes Odds, Predictions & Picks

 I have circled my favorite, three legitimate contenders and one live longshot for winning the Preakness Stakes as the second jewel in the 2023 Triple Crown.

My Favorite

As an  8/5 favorite on the morning line odds for the Preakness Stakes, Mage is trying to extend his streak after winning the $3 million Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 6. Trained by Gustavo Delgado, he finished in first or second place in three of four races in his early career. Mage will have jockey Javier Castellano on board, starting out in the No. 3 gate for the Preakness Stakes.

As a son of Good Magic, Mage has the pedigree to win this major graded event. I am at least counting on this colt finishing in the money in the Preakness Stakes

Three Legitimate Contender

First Mission is an obvious contender at 5/2 odds on the morning line. He finished first in the Grade 3 Lexington Stakes on April 22 at Keeneland Race Course. First Mission has placed first or second in competitive races at Fair Grounds and Keeneland during his early career as a three-year-old. Sired by Street Sense, he has raced 1 1/16 miles on dirt in his last two events. Trained by Brad Cox and ridden by jockey Luis Saez out of the No. 8 gate in this race, First Mission has earned the 6.78 rating from Horse Racing Nation.

My second choice is National Treasure. He is a legitimate contender at 4/1 odds for the Preakness Stakes after placing first, second or third in four races as a two-year and three-year colt.  National Treasure finished fourth in the Santa Anita Derby on April 8 in tough competition. However, with Bob Baffert as his trainer and John Velazquez as his jockey, he has two of the breaks going his way at the No. 1 gate for this race.

At 6/1 odds on the morning line, Blazing Sevens is set at gate No. 7 with Irad Ortiz Jr. as his jockey. Also helping out the cause is Chad Brown as his trainer. Blazing Sevens finished  third in the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes on April 8 at Keeneland. He has cleared more than a mile on dirt in his last three races. As a Kentucky-bred colt with Good Magic as his father, Blazing Sevens is ready for the Preakness Stakes

One Live Longshot

Red Route One is 10/1 odds on the morning line for the Preakness Stakes as a live longshot. He is starting at the No. 5 gate with Joel Rosario has his jockey. Trained by Chad Brown, the three-year-old colt finished first in the ungraded Bath House Row Stakes at Keeneland as the prep race for the Preakness Stakes. Red Route One went 1 1/8 miles on dirt in his last two races as a three-year-old, which is always a plus in a major stakes event like this one.

Popular US Horse Race Betting Terms

 There is basic terminology for horse racing in betting on the daily card at the live track. These terms are broken down into the horse, the horse race and the horse bets.

The Horses

Blinkers are often used to improve the horse’s vision and focus. The area is a cup-shaped device placed around the eyes and nose that limits a horse’s vision.

The Horse Race

The Allowance race is determined by certain conditions such as the horse’s age, sex and/or past performance. For example, the allowance is a non-winner of two separate races other than a maiden race or claiming race.

The Claiming race is when each horse that is entered can be claimed at a set purchases price.

The Graded race is guaranteed to offer a $100,000 or more as part of the prize purse. The horse race has to be run at least twice (each year) under similar conditions.

The Stakes race is where an owner has paid a fee to enter the horse in the field. Some stakes races are by invitation and no payment or fee.

The Length is a quantitative measurement of one horse leading the field by another horse.

The Post Positions is the number of the starting gate in the race of the horse and their jockey.

My 5 Contenders for the Kentucky Derby

These five horses have morning line odds and my prediction to win this stakes race in percentage points. I also have the top three contenders to win, place and show as a bonus pick.

Forte (3-1)

This three-year-old colt has been a favorite to win the Kentucky Derby ever since he won the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile on Nov. 4 as a two-year-old. Trained by Todd Pletcher, Forte won a pair of major graded stakes at Gulfstream Park this year. He finished first in the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes on March 4 and he topped the field in the Grade 1 Florida Derby on April 1.

Sired by Violence, he finished first in six of seven races in his early career (fourth in the Grade 3 Stanford Stakes in mid-July last year). Forte has shown the pedigree and power to finish strong in the backstretch at 1 ¼ miles on dirt. He is starting at the No. 15 gate at Churchill Downs with jockey Irad Ortiz Jr..

Percent to Win: 60%

Tapit Trice (5-1)

As a Kentucky-bred colt racing for Whisper Hill Farms and Gainesway Stable, Tapit Trice has won races at Gulfstream Park, Tampa Bay Downs and Keeneland Race Course as a three-year-old. He finished first at Keeneland on April 8 in the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes to cement his rating (7.89) at Horse Racing Nation.

In that race at Keeneland, Tapit Trice covered 1 1/8 miles on dirt in 1:50.00 over Verifying and Blazing Sevens. Also trained by Todd Pletcher, he drew the No. 5 gate at Churchill Downs and Luis Saez will be his jockey.

Percent to Win: 20%

Angel of Empire (8-1)

As a son of Classic Empire, he finished first or second in five races out of the six in his competitive career. Angel of Empire won his last two races as a three-year-old. He finished first at Fair Ground on Feb. 18 in the Grade 2 Risen Star Stakes before winning the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park on April 1.

Trained by Brad Cox  and ridden by jockey Flavien Prat, Angel of Empire will start the Kentucky Derby at the No. 14 gate. He has increased the distance and grade of this event, but his HRN rating of 7.70 will make him one of the legitimate contenders for the Kentucky Derby.

Percent to Win: 5%

Practical Move (10-1)

With Tim Yakteen as the trainer and jockey Ramon Vazquez leading him out of the No. 10 gate, Practical Move is in pretty good position to make a run for the money in the Kentucky Derby. He won back-to-back races at Santa Anita Park by finishing first in the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes on March 4 before taking first in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on April 8.

Sired by Practical Joke, he climbed the ladder in his 7.67 rating at HRN with his two victories out on the West Coast.

Percent to Win: 5%

Kingsbarns (12-1)

As a son of Uncle Mo and trained by Todd Pletcher, Kingsbarns has an 8.02 HRN rating from his last win at Fair Grounds. He finished first in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby on March 25 by covering the 1 3/16 mile on dirt in 1:57.33. His competitive career as a three-year-old created wins in the one-mile Allowance race at Gulfstream Park and a Maiden Special Weight race at Tampa Bay Downs covering 1 mile and 40 yards.

Starting at No. 6 at Churchill Down in the Kentucky Derby with jockey Jose Ortiz, Kingsbarns is a live longshot to finish in the money in this race.

Percent to Win: 10%

Kentucky Derby Bonus Pick:

$50 on Forte to Win

$25 on Tapit Trice to Place

$25 on Kingsbarns to Show

Is Legal Online Sports Betting Coming to North Carolina?

North Carolina's House of Representatives approved a bill allowing 10 to 12 online sportsbooks to set up shop in the state. If the state Senate follows suit, Governor Roy Copper could sign HB 347 into law and legal online sportsbooks might be operating next year.

State Representative Jason Saine introduces HB 347 for the legislative session in late winter and he  recently commented:

"We've learned a good bit from both sided about some of the tweaks that needed to happen. We've worked to accommodate those concern, and we believe we have a bill can that can do better than pass. It can get support from both caucuses"
