Betting Dork: 138th Kentucky Derby Preview and Picks

Horse Racing expert Marco D'Angelo (he who called the Derby win of 30-1 shot Animal Kingdom last year) and Pro Football Weekly racing aficionado Mike Wilkening drop in on Host Gill Alexander for this annual extensive Kentucky Derby preview. The many tenets of horse racing handicapping are examined, including weighting the significance of the three different types of horses entered, post position, jockeys, recent performance, and trainers, while isolating the horses in this year's Run for the Roses that form the group on which bets will be made come the first Saturday in May.  And yes, the long shot of choice is discussed.  Plus, analytics on the Triple Crown and breeding that will change your thinking on the sport. It's a discussion you won't hear anywhere else, on Friday's Betting Dork (May 4, 2012).
