With Gemologist winning Saturday’s all-important Wood Memorial, his odds of winning this year’s Kentucky Derby should be slashed fast, though currently they were coming in at 12 to 1 at BetOnline.com and those odds remained on Sunday April 8. We just want to take a moment to remind everyone that BetOnline.com does offer a FREE CASH bonus when opening an online betting account (based on the amount of money the account is opened with) and they offer 7 percent track rebates. There is no limit to how much a Player may earn as well as no minimum volume of wagers that need to be placed.
Gemologist was the odds-on favorite to win this weekend’s Wood Memorial and didn’t disappoint.
With jockey Javier Castellano taking control of Gemologist, the favorite managed to hold off Alpha, who had the second shortest odds coming into this race.
The win guarantees a spot for Gemologist at this year’s Derby, barring any unforeseen injury or health issues.
"When I asked him, he took off again," Castellano said. "I like that. I was concerned when Alpha was closing because my horse was just looking around at the crowd."
