Vegas Odds On Triple Crown

Vegas Odds on the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing have seen 34 years since jockey Steve Cauthen rode Affirmed to victory in horse racing's three most hallowed events in 1978. Consisting of three annual races for three-year-old thoroughbred horses, the vaunted Triple Crown in the United States has only been won 11 times in history, making it the crowning achievement in Thoroughbred Racing and quite a rarity indeed. Every year the winner of the Kentucky Derby has a chance to win the storied Triple Crown, and Vegas odds on Triple Crown victory offer the chance of a significant payday. Many countries have their own Triple Crown consisting of three important horse races, but the most famous Triple Crown takes place in the United States, and consists of the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.

At the 2012 Kentucky Derby, Bob Baffert's Bodemeister was one of the top favorites, and led nearly wire to wire until 15 to 1 underdog I'll Have Another absolutely exploded with only 300 yards to go down the home stretch, and carried jockey Mario Gutierrez to victory in the shadow of the Twin Spires at Churchill Downs. That sets I'll Have Another up for a possible Triple Crown victory, and if he was to pull off one of the rarest of sports achievements, he would be one of the biggest underdogs to do so. The difficulty in winning the Triple Crown is that horses generally specialize at different distances, and with the Kentucky Derby Run over 1 and 1/4 Miles, the Preakness Stakes running a length of 1 and 3/16 miles and the Belmont Stakes the longest of the three at 1 and 1/2 miles, a horse must truly be special to cap all three events in one year.

Gamblers and non-gamblers alike check the Vegas Odds on Triple Crown possibilities every year, as it adds to the excitement of watching these three storied thoroughbred horse races, whether live, on television or online. Since I'll Have Another was not one of the favorites to win the Kentucky Derby, he stands to be a heavy underdog for the 2012 Triple Crown achievement. But that simply means those long odds will make for a favorable payout should he do the unthinkable and add this year's Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes to his short but growing victory list.

The next race up for I'll Have Another is the 137th running of the Preakness Stakes, which will take place on Saturday, May 19, at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The Preakness Stakes is the shortest of the three Triple Crown races, and the winner of the 138th Kentucky Derby this year will have to make his charge earlier than he did at Churchill Downs if he is to claim the second leg of the Triple Crown. Expectations should also be high for Bodemeister, I'll Have Another, Went the Day Well and Dullahan, who finished third in the Kentucky Derby this year.
