Dunkirk's 2009 Kentucky Derby betting odds were listed at +400 at betED.com just one week prior to the start of the big race. Most oddsmakers believed early on this was the horse to beat after I Want Revenge. The payout would be $400 for every $100 bet.

Dunkirk breezed five furlongs in 1:01.05 at the Palm Meadows Training Center in Florida in company with stablemate Munnings.

"I was very, very pleased with the work," trainer Todd Pletcher said. "He started out about a length and a half or two lengths behind the other horse, then he finished up about a half-length ahead. It was a very good move for him."

Trained by Todd Pletcher, the roan/gray son of Unbridled's Song seemed to be guaranteed a berth in the Kentucky Derby field, which is limited to 20 based on graded-stakes earnings.

How We Follow Horse Racing Has Completely Changed

Horse racing has always been a sport built on routine. Certain days meant certain tracks, the form guide landed when it landed, and if you missed a race, you simply caught up later. Following the sport required a bit of commitment, a bit of patience, and often a bit of guesswork.
