Union Rags Kentucky Derby Odds Still at 4 to 1 Across the Board

Union Rags Kentucky Derby odds were sitting at 4 to 1 at most online books Friday afternoon, including BetDSI.com, which was offering up to 8 percent cash back on losses and a 20 percent cash bonus for all new signups

Union Rags could see his price slashed in the event of rain.  More intense betting average leading up to race time could also cause these odds to fall.  Gambling911.com was encouraging its readers to get down on Union Rags early.

Trainer Michael Matz says he sees great potential in Union Rags despite his poor Florida Derby showing.

Many have drawn parallels to 2006 Derby winner Barbaro, who also had a poor showing in the Florida Derby

“That loss (in the Florida Derby) makes Union Rags the ultimate bounce back candidate,” noted James Skully on ESPN.com.  “For one thing, trainer Michael Matz did not have Barbaro cranked for the 2006 Florida Derby, where the heavy favorite was all-out to defeat an unheralded Sharp Humor by a narrow margin, but Barbaro came back five weeks later with a monstrous performance at Churchill Downs, winning by 6 1/2 convincing lengths.”

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
