Odds: When oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog.com released the Kentucky Derby odds earlier this week, Twice The Appeal was a +3000 long shot. While he’s still a long shot, his odds have improved to +2000. The favorite to win on Saturday is Dialed In, who is +300, while Uncle Mo is +350.
Race History: Twice The Appeal will garner some action heading into Saturday’s race, not only because he’ll be ridden by Calvin Borel (who has won three of the last four Kentucky Derbys), but because of his recent race history. He’s won three of the last four races, with his latest victory coming at the Sunland Derby (Grade 3) on March 27. He did finish fourth at the Turf Paradise Derby on February 26, however.
Post Position: Seeing as how Borel loves to ride the rail to victory, he must love the fact that Twice The Appeal will start from the No. 3 post position. That gate has produced eight Kentucky Derby winners, which is only four behind the rail and No. 5 positions, which have posted a Derby-high 12 victories apiece.
Outlook: With Borel on the mount and the nice draw for the post position, Twice The Appeal is definitely worth a look on Saturday. The problem is that he’ll be overbet because of Borel, so jump on him now if you like him. Wait until post time on Saturday and forget any value you had opened to accrue.
