2014 Kentucky Derby favorite California Chrome had odds of +245 Saturday morning, a slight change from the +225 we have seen much of the week. Remember, BetDSI.com is offering 7% rebates on losses and up to $2500 in FREE CASH. *Note changes in post positions from 1-10 since Wednesday’s draw due to two scratches.
10% of the action was on California Chrome with the next heaviest action on Wicked Strong at 10-1 odds, also seeing little change in price.
"He’s so light on his feet," jockey Victor Espinoza said. "He just does things so easy and makes my job easy."
We’re going to go down in history," co-owner Steve Coburn predicted. "We’ve been blessed with this colt. The first time we saw him, we knew it was going to be something special."
The biggest fear surrounding California Chrome is whether he can get out of the gate seamlessly without an disruptions. Any initial false moves could set this favorite back.
