Still Lots to Shake Out before 144th Kentucky Derby
The more bettors see from Justify, the more they like him to win the 144th Kentucky Derby on May 5. Saturday’s six-furlong workout at Santa Anita Park was impressive. It was definitely enough to put Justify alone at 3/1 on top of the horse racing futures market. That leaves former co-favorite Mendelssohn in second place at 4/1. Mendelssohn is working with trainer Aidan O’Brien at the Ballydoyle facility in Ireland. The horse is expected to ship out on April 30.Bet on horse racing at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.
