There’s nothing more stressful than walking into a Churchill Downs betting booth on Kentucky Derby Day and greeting the Mutuel clerk with a blank expression when he asks how you’d like to bet.
That’s why we’re hosting our popular Better Derby Betting Event again, to help you take the guesswork out of the prediction game and learn from the experts how to bet on the horses in the 148th Run for the Roses on May 7th should.
Courier Journal Senior Horse Racing Reporter Jason Frakes will moderate the ticketed event on Wednesday, April 27 and our panel of experts will include Ed DeRosa of Horse Racing Nation.
