American Lion is the newest of our 2010 Kentucky Derby contenders and the odds seem to indicate this could be one of the best in the lineup.

We’ve been monitoring the 2010 Kentucky Derby odds since BoDog Sportsbook put them up and American Lion is still listed as the 3^rd best of the contenders behind only Lookin At Lucky (6/1) and Buddy’s Saint (7/1).

You can get American Lion at 15/1 odds to win the Kentucky Derby and there seems to be plenty of value at this number.  Make sure to sign-up for an account with BoDog Sportsbook before the Kentucky Derby because the number on race day will be much less profitable for American Lion.  Oh yeah, these guys are giving away a 10% free cash sign-up bonus and up to 5% cash back on horse racing wagers.

Sired by Tiznow, American Lion has is coming off an impressive Hollywood Prevue victory which was preceded by a 1^st place finished in a maiden race at Keeneland.  One thing about American Lion is that the horse is still very young and still has a ton to learn about the horse racing world.  With the Kentucky Derby still months away, the February 6^th Robert B. Lewis Stakes will be a great indicator of how improved this 3-year old really is from the early-career issues.

We fully expect American Lion to take home that race and move up to the 2^nd betting choice amongst the Kentucky Derby contenders set to compete in this year’s field. Check out the previews we've done of the other prominent 2010 Kentucky Derby contenders as well.

American Lion is one of the premier 2010 Kentucky Derby contenders and you’ll want to take advantage of his betting odds at BoDog Sportsbook while they last.
