Bet California Chrome Now: Best Payout Won’t Last
Experts are advising an early bet on California Chrome as he is likely to become a “monster favorite” just prior to post time. Most of the wagers are placed the hours just leading up to race time (after Noon EST) and this will likely result in California Chrome becoming an even bigger favorite.
On Friday evening, the best price we here at Gambling911.com could find on California Chrome was -165 at Bookmaker. This means you will have to pay $16.50 to win $10 (the $16.50 is returned with a California Chrome win). This number is likely to go beyond -200 even before Noon.
California Chrome will break from the No. 3 post, which has produced 10 winners in the previous 138 runnings of the Preakness Stakes, the last being Prairie Bayou in 1993.
He won the Derby by 1-3/4 lengths.
