Odds: Dance City opened at +1000 on the money line and according to oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com, he’s now +1500 to win. Animal Kingdom is favored at +200, while Dialed In is +400 and Mucho Macho Man, who finished third at the Kentucky Derby, is +450 to win.

Race History: Dance City has raced four times in his career and not once has he finished off the board. He broke his maiden in December last year by finishing second, and then won his first race on January 21 of this year. He also won an allowance on March 19 and in his first graded stakes, he finished third at the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby on April 16.

Outlook: It appears as though this horse is getting faster each time out, which is why his odds are better than some of the more experienced horses. Even at 29/1 odds, Dance City ran second from the gate to midstretch before Nehro passed him at the Arkansas Derby. If he gives a similar effort on Saturday, there’s no reason to think that Dance City can’t finish in the money at Pimlico Race Course.
