Desert Party Odds
The 2009 Kentucky Derby is almost here, as the annual horse race will take place this Saturday at Churchill Downs. One of the more intriguing thoroughbreds in the running this year is Desert Party.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SPORTSBETTING.COM have made Desert Party a 15/1 long shot to win the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby. I Want Revenge (3/1), Dunkirk (4/1), Pioneerof the Nile (4/1), Frisean Fire (5/1) and Hold Me Back (15/1) round out the top 5.
Based on his race history, Desert Party could be a potential sleeper for this year’s Kentucky Derby. His 6-4-1 race record doesn’t blow you away, but when you look at his last six races, he has been impressive. He finished second on March 28 at the U.A.E Derby, but had back-to-back wins at the U.A.E Two Thousand Guineas on February 12 and at the Allowance on January 22.
Desert Party had a hiccup at the Hopeful S. at Saratoga on September 1 of last year, but finished first at the Sanford S. at Saratoga on July 24, and first at the Maiden Special Weight at Arlington on June 22 of 2008. That makes four first place finishes in his last six races.
The 135th running of the Kentucky Derby takes place this Saturday, May 2 at Churchill Downs in Louisville Kentucky. Below are the complete odds for this year’s event, as well as other Kentucky Derby articles that we’ve put together.
