Free 2009 Derby Pick2009 Kentucky Derby PicksThere are many places on the Internet that will give you their free derby pick, that is, their pick to win the Kentucky Derby. But there is no reason why you need someone else's free derby pick when you can easily make an excellent selection on your own. There are many different reasons why you may want to disregard a free derby pick in favor of your own including reliability, money, and trustworthiness. Expert horse handicapper Arthur Bodley of 1800-Sports.com predicts Friesan Fire to win the 2009 Kentucky Derby. He is currently posting +500 odds at Powerhouse Sportsbook, BetUS.com. Despite not racing in seven weeks, on Monday Friesan Fire shook off the cobwebs by working five furlongs in :57:80 at Churchill Downs, the fastest time out of 28 timed horses. In 2009, he came in first in all three of his races, concluding with the Grade 2 $600k Louisiana Derby at the Fair Grounds! Be sure to bookmark 1800-Sports.com to find the latest Kentucky Derby Odds. The first issue with a free derby pick is the trustworthiness of the person or entity you are getting the free derby pick from. If it is just some random Internet site, you may want to think twice. It could be some sort of scam, people who hope to run the odds or the buzz in their own favor so they can make money. It could be just some random person who doesn't know the first thing about horse racing, but since spring is coming along, the website owner thought that offering a free derby pick was a good way to get traffic on his website. The point is, that trusting another person with the decision of which horse you are going to bet on may be a very big mistake, so be careful when relying on a free derby pick. Looking for the best in online horse wagering? BetUS.com is your place! Bet on horse races from every major thoroughbred racetrack in the US and beyond! They have a myriad of betting options from Win, Place, Show, Exactas, Doubles, Trifectas, Quinellas and Exotics that pay up to 100 to 1! Join BetUS.com Today, "for over 14 years they have been the World-Wide Pioneers in Online Sports, Casino and Poker Gaming!" A closely related issue to the trustworthiness factor is reliability. Not only do you not know the motives of the person or entity advertising the free derby pick, you also have no idea what, if any, research has gone into making the free derby pick. A good derby pick requires some research. You have to watch the races leading up to Kentucky Derby betting; you have to figure out the horses, the jockeys, the trainers, and the owners. You need to look at the lineage of the horse, the record of the jockey and the history of the trainer. You need to consider each horse against the length of the track and other factors at the Kentucky Derby. It is unlikely that the person or entity offering you the free derby pick has done all this work, if he actually did the work, just to be a nice guy. That leads back to the first problem with a free derby pick. Make your 2009 Belmont Stakes Predictions right now! Lastly, there is the issue of money. If you are going to spend and possibly lose money on Kentucky Derby betting, do you really want to go with a free derby pick? It is your money, and your best chance to win comes through putting in the work for yourself. A free derby pick is a risky proposition, and you are better off making your own pick, especially when doing the work yourself can be so rewarding. 2009 Kentucky Derby Betting Odds sponsored by Sportsbook.com - May 3rd, 2009
