Friesan Fire is one of the Kentucky Derby favorites and there are both good and bad things to be aware of when betting this horse.
We’ll start with the good things that justify making this horse your bet on the Kentucky Derby betting odds.
First off, Friesan Fire has won his last 3 races in impressive fashion which includes three wins at the Fair Grounds in the Louisiana Derby, the Risen Star S., and the Lecomte S. Before that this horse placed 2nd in the Allowance at the same venue.
In the Louisiana Derby victory this horse was extremely impressive with 7 ¼-length victory over a field that included Papa Clem, a horse in the Kentucky Derby lineup that is currently listed at roughly 12/1.
Friesan Fire’s owner says there is still a ton of room to get even better and the horse’s jockey Gabriel Saez had this impressive quote to say after the Derby, “When I asked him to go -- he did it so easy I can't explain it."
Friesan Fire is currently listed on the Kentucky Derby odds as an 8/1 underdog and recently put in a strong work on a mile run where he was pushed to a 1:39:60 time which should put him near the top of the field come the finish line in this Kentucky Derby lineup.
TheOnlinewire.com teamed up with our preferred online racebooks, Bodog Racebook and SBG Global Racebook to bring our readers the latest news and the best odds to bet on each of its three legs and on the 2009 edition of the Triple Crown.
Both Bodog Racebook and SBG Global Racebook provide horse wagering enthusiasts the highest wagering standards along with enticing promotions and sign up bonuses and financial safety.
The only bad things about this horse are that historically horses that compete at the Fair Grounds don’t do well.
The saying “What happens at the Fair Grounds stays at the Fair Grounds” has proven true in recent years as Louisiana Derby winners Pyro and Circular Quay have disappointed in recent years with Grindstone in 1996 the last horse to cover the Kentucky Derby odds that won the Louisiana Derby.
That being said, the Kentucky Derby odds for Friesan Fire definitely make for some juicy exactas and trifectas and it would not surprise me to see this horse bet down a little before the Kentucky Derby lineup is finalized.
TheOnlinewire.com, in cooperation with Bodog Racebook and SBG Global Racebook, will provide daily updates, news and the latest odds on the Triple Crown 2009 and its individual legs starting with the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 2nd.
