Kentucky Derby Gambling Results: Big Brown Wins

The Kentucky Derby had many horses in the field this year. Only one, Big Brown, was the favorite, and being the favorite today meant that nineteen other horses were aiming to defeat the odds and win the Derby.

That was not the case on a day when the second place finisher had to be euthanized immediately following the race. Big Brown was strong down the stretch and held on to win the Kentucky Derby.

Eight Belles finished second, but the joy that the owners of the horse felt was quickly turned to sorrow. The horse broke both of his ankles and had to be euthanized on the track after the race.

As for Big Brown, it was his day to shine, much like odds makers believed. He came into the race as the favorite, but some wondered how he would fare coming from the outside post. Once the horses separated in the backstretch, Big Brown had control most of the rest of the way.

Now, the horse will turn its attention to the triple crown. There has been no triple crown winner in a long time, and while horses have won the first two legs in the recent future, none have been special enough to win all three.

Big Brown won the Derby by four and three quarter lengths, and will most likely be favored to win the next step of the triple crown in two weeks.
