Kentucky Derby Bets for the Colt Pyro are at short 7-1 odds to win the 2008 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Pyro is coming off the worst performance of his career with a 10th place finish on the artificial surface at Blue Grass making some players cautious of placing their Kentucky Derby Bets on Pyro. BodogLife.com has Pyro at +550 odds for Kentucky Derby Bets. Despite the hiccup in that race Pyro has proven to be possibly the most gifted horse in this year’s wide open field of Kentucky Derby Contenders. Pyro is a vicious closer that had a great rally last year at Churchill Downs to win. Pyro has good track experience that also complements his immense natural talent. Coming off the dismal performance at Blue Grass Pyro is also receiving favorable odds in this race.
Horse racing handicapper L. Lee had this to say about Pyro’s performance on the artificial surface: “Obviously Pyro doesn’t like the poly turf. Before the awful performance Pyro it should be noted is still the top money winner. The only horse that beat Pyro was warpath and he isn’t running in this race.” Pyro has had some less than stellar speed ratings as a 3-year old but still must be considered one of the best horses of his generation. Pyro has the style to win this Derby and his experience over favorite Big Brown I believe will be the key. PLAY PYRO ACROSS THE BOARD.
