Super Saver Kentucky Derby

At Churchill Downs, Super Saver was reportedly getting the most betting action by Saturday morning.  Super Saver's Kentucky Derby odds remained a solid +1650, meaning the payout would be $165 for every $10 bet at SBG Global.

Advance wagering into the 136th Kentucky Derby suggests the race could produce the longest-priced favorite in Derby history, with Super Saver being the 7-1 choice after $340,544 was bet into the win pool Friday, according to ESPN.com.  Only one other Derby starter, Lookin At Lucky at 9-1, was less than double digits.

SBG Global's nearly 17/1 odds were almost double the payout potential of that of Churchill Downs.

Other horses getting hot betting action early on included Ice Box, Paddy O'Prado, Devil May Care, and Sidney's Candy.
