Online racebook BETUS.com has posted horse racing betting odds on the 2010 Kentucky Derby Picks Match Up between Jackson Bend vs Super Saver. What do the Sports-Odds.com horse racing betting and Kentucky Derby Picks experts think about Jackson Bend?
Running out of the thirteenth gate, Jackson Bend is listed as a +105 odds underdog in his 2010 Kentucky Derby Picks Match Up against Super Saver. Jackson Bend is owned by Robert V. LaPenta and Fred J. Brei. His pedigree is Hear No Evil and Sexy Stockings by Tabasco Cat. Despite being on the graded stakes earnings bubble most of April, Jackson Bend has two-time Derby winner Nick Zito training him for the biggest race in the young colts career.
Jackson Bend has an impressive 5-3-0 record in eight starts but according to his 14/1 odds you wouldn't think so. Last week with exercise rider Carlos Correa the chestnut colt was the fastest out of all 19 works at the same five-furlong distance with a 1:00-flat time.
He was still out of the top-20 in graded stakes earnings but Zito was optimistic about his chances: "We'll see if he gets in. If not, we'll just have to go on to the Preakness. But I would think he's got a pretty good shot to get in."
With $230,000 in earnings, Jackson Bend finally got in to the 2010 Kentucky Derby on Monday with the defections of Rule and Eskendereya. Jackson Bend won all five starts at Calder Race Course as a juvenile. He followed up with three second place finishes to start the 2010 season; first in the Grade III Holy Bull on January 23rd, second in the Grade II Fountain of Youth on February 20th and in his last race in the Grade I Wood Memorial on April 3rd.
What do the Sports-Odds.com horse racing betting and Kentucky Derby Picks experts think about Super Saver?
Running out of the fourth gate, Super Saver is listed as a -135 odds favorite in his 2010 Kentucky Derby Picks Match Up against Jackson Bend. Super Saver has never finished less than fourth in his six career races and the fourth came in the Grade 1 Champagne and is a proven commodity on fast/sloppy tracks which will suit him and jockey Calvin Borel well at the 2010 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
In his only graded stakes win, Super Saver took the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club last fall by five lengths and finished second in the Arkansas Derby to eventual long shot winner Line of David who happens to be another 2010 Kentucky Derby contender.
