Bookmaker.com was paying back 8 percent of Kentucky Derby losses and wins this weekend making things even more gratifying for bettors.

 

Blind Luck, the 6-5 favorite, came roaring down the stretch and caught 11-1 longhsot Evening Jewell and won the Grade I, $500,000 Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs Friday afternoon.

Ridden by Rafael Bejarano, Blind Luck won for the seventh time in 10 tries and gave  northern California-based trainer Jerry Hollendorfer his third win in this race.
