Dublin Updated Odds
Grade 1 winner Dublin looks to overcome a poor post position in order to produce a victory in the 136th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
Recent History:
Dublin is coming off a third place finish at G1 Arkansas Derby on April 10, in which he lost to fellow Kentucky Derby contenders Line of David and Super Saver. That said, he did win G1 Hopeful in September of last year with a time of 1:23.52 and finished third behind 2010 Derby favorite Lookin at Lucky and fellow contender Noble’s Promise.
When the opening odds for the 2010 Kentucky Derby were released, Dublin was 12/1 to win at Churchill Downs. When the post positions were drawn earlier this week, the 3-year-old was 14/1 to win and now, according to oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com, he is 17/1 to win.
Unfortunately for Dublin, he drew one of the only two post positions that have never won at the Kentucky Derby. He’ll start in the No. 17 position, which along with the No. 19 post spot, has not produced a winner at the Derby.
Outlook:
Dublin hasn’t won in five races, but has shown enough potential for some bettors to believe he’s a sleeper. He has shown the ability to make up ground and has been in the money in every single one of his 2010 races, but he hasn’t been able to produce a win. What’s most troubling is that he’s already lost to Line of David, Lookin at Lucky and Conveyance this year, so what makes anyone think he’ll overcome the odds on Saturday?
