Continue ReadingCan’t wait until the Kentucky Derby to do some online horse race gambling? Never fear, the 2017 Road to the Kentucky Derby passes through the Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana this Saturday, January 21st for the Lecomte Stakes, which offers a $200,000 purse – must be a Louis Vuitton – but more importantly, 10 RTTKD points to the winner, four points to the runner-up, and two and one points to the third and fourth place, respectively. The 12-horse field includes the too-clever-for-their-own-good names that people who bet on horse races have come to expect, so let’s get to know these noble brutes more profoundly.
The Sham Stakes, the next stop on the online horse race gambling 2017 Road to the Kentucky Derby (RTTKD), will take place on Saturday, January 7th at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. Gormley is the favorite of people who bet on horse races to win this race, but the field will be filled with six other horses who will do their best to win the 10 RTTKD points awarded to the first place – or, failing that, the four, two, or one points given to the second, third, and fourth place, respectively.

How do you get to the 2017 Kentucky Derby? Practice. And also by being among the 20 horses with the most points in the Road to the Kentucky Derby (RTTKD). The RTTKD is a tiered point system in select races which will determine who earns a spot in the starting gate on Saturday, May 6th. This year’s RTTKD consists of 35 races – 19 races for the Kentucky Derby Prep Season and 16 races for the Kentucky Derby Championship Season. The series of designated races takes the horses to tracks across the USA and around the world. And the best part is that horse betting fans can wager on these races, so there’s no need to wait for Kentucky Derby betting.
Prior to the Run of the Roses, Nyquist seemed to have been underestimated by Kentucky Derby betting odds-makers. It is truly a testament to the impact that last year’s winner and eventual Triple Crown Champion American Pharoah had, when an unbeaten and heavily favored horse has to play second fiddle to another horse that’s already retired. However, Nyquist proved the neigh-sayers wrong (get it? Neigh-sayers. That's gold, Jerry! Gold! ) by winning the Derby by 1 1⁄4 lengths, becoming the eighth undefeated winner in history and the first since Big Brown in 2008.
