Kentucky Derby bettors don’t seem to know what to make of Archarcharch. On Monday, oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog.com listed his odds at +900 but even though he drew the rail on Wednesday, his odds stayed put.
Now, the closer we get to Saturday’s 6:24PM ET post time, Archarcarch’s odds are actually going in the other direction. He’s now +1200 to win, placing his odds with Midnight Interlude (+1200), Soldat (+1400) and Stay Thirsty (+1500).
It’s a tad surprising that Archacharch’s odds have rose since he won the Arkansas Derby on April 16, beating out fellow Kentucky Derby contender Nehro (among others). He also placed third at the Rebel Stakes (Grade 2) and first at the Southwest (Grade 3). So one would think he would be more attractive to bettors, especially when you consider that the rail has produced a Kentucky Derby-high 12 victories (same as the No. 5 post position).
