Online sports betting giant Sportsbook.com has the lone filly in the 2008 Kentucky Derby Eight Belles at 20-1 betting odds in today's race at Churchill Downs. Eight Belles is red hot coming into the 2008 Kentucky Derby on a four-race win streak with an average speed rating of 96.5. Eight Belles is a female but she comes from championship caliber stock with her sire Unbridle’d Song regarded as the most talented horse to run in the 1996 Kentucky Derby.
Eight Belles is a well-schooled horse that is as strong as her male counterparts but untested against anything but ordinary competition. History is not on Eight Belles side as only 3 filly’s in the 134 years of the Kentucky Derby have been winners.
Eight Belles also will be riden by an inexperienced 20-year old rookie jockey Gabriel Saez who will need to keep her in the first flight to have a shot. Eight Belles is a talented filly but against the testosterone fueled male studs she will get outclassed against the big boys.
