Thanks Jo. I’d love to place my first-ever Derby bet on this fine choice of a name.  Living in Colorado, how do I make that happen?

I think I have an obligation to play that horse.

Yeah, Jo, how does this work?

OK, here’s how it works: Rezarection Time is just now having his very first race, which will happen tomorrow at Emerald Downs. So, he won’t be in the Kentucky Derby. I was just struck by the name.

You can bet online with these reputable sites (located in the US)

xpressbet.com

youbet.com

tvg.com

TVG will probably your best bet for the derby, and for Emerald Downs too. So for ZB, if you want to bet your hunch play, sign up for an account with TVG. Do it soon, so you can bet your horse tomorrow.

But I highly recommend just going down to your local off track betting establishment for Kentucky Derby wagering. They’re usually sports bars here. In Colorado, it looks like visiting here

might help find a place to wager nearest your home. Englewood or Havana Park nearby?

Anyway, “live tellers” are very helpful when it comes to first-time bettors. Plan to go in the morning of the Derby, so you don’t get shut out.

Since I can’t access gambling sites at work what kind of odds are we looking at?

Trench-

Too early to say for sure in both races...true odds only come about once bettors are wagering.

What we can reference for Rezareaction Time’s race are the “morning line” odds, which are the “probable odds” for the race. Those will be available later this afternoon. I am assuming the horse in question will go off at high odds, like 10-1. We’ll see.

to all:

kentuckyderby.com is a great website to visit...everything you could want to know about the history of the derby is there.

Odds? We don’ need no steenkeen odds!

morning line is only 4-1. Interesting.

I’ll lay money on 4-1.
