Why Bet on Brody’s Cause to Win This Year’s Kentucky Derby
You can bet on Brody’s Cause to win the 2016 Kentucky Derby at between 12-1 and 14-1 at most books.
Jonathan Lintner writes of Brody’s Cause:
“A push-button, prototypical Derby horse,” as trainer Dale Romans often says, he is of the traditional Derby winner’s make. Brody’s Cause has the acceleration to carve through fields and a win over the Churchill Downs track. There’s little to question about him.
A multiple Grade I winner with a first-place finish over the Churchill Downs track has topped 90 on the Brisnet Speed Ratings. Gun Runner dominated his opposition with a comfortable 4½-length tally in the March 26 Louisiana Derby. The 12-1 price tag certainly has some value.
Brody’s Cause does not have a favorable post position as the 19 spot has resulted in a single win since 1999.
Another potential drawback, the competition may just be a little too much for Brody’s Cause, especially since he doesn’t have any edge out of the gate.
