Opening Odds: When oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog.com released the opening odds for the week leading up to the Kentucky Derby, Sway Away was +3500 on the money line. The favorite was Dialed In at +350, although Uncle Mo (+400) and Nehro (+600) were right behind him in terms of odds to win.
Current Odds: Sway Away’s odds have slightly improved now that we’re a couple of days away from this year’s action at Churchill Downs. He’s now +3000 on the money line and although that still makes him a long shot to win, at least his odds have improved. Dialed In is still the favorite at +300, but Uncle Mo (+350) and Nehro’s (+450) odds have improved.
Race History: Sway Away’s recent race history won’t garner much confidence from bettors. He finished fourth at the Arkansas Derby (Grade 1) behind fellow Kentucky Derby contenders Archarcharch and Nehro, and finished sixth at the Rebel Stakes (Grade 2) on March 19. He did place second at the San Vicente (Grade 2) on February 20 and the one good thing about Sway Away is that he does have some experience going against decent competition. (Unlike other contenders, who’ve had limited experience against graded competition.)
