Opening Odds: Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog.com listed Pants On Fire at +2800 when the Kentucky Derby odds were released earlier this week. Dialed In was the favorite at +350, while Uncle Mo was +400 and Nehro was +600.
Current Odds: Pants On Fire’s odds have actually gotten worse, even though some believe he may be a potential sleeper this weekend. He’s now +3000 on the money line, which are the same odds as fellow long shots Animal Kingdom, Sway Away and Brilliant Speed. Dialed In is still the favorite, although now he’s +300. Uncle Mo (+350) and Nehro’s (+450) odds have also improved.
Race History: The reason Pants On Fire is starting to receive some attention around the web is because he’s coming off a victory at the Louisiana Derby (Grade 2) on March 26. And since it’ll be over a month since he last ran, it’s clear he’ll be well rested by the time he takes the dirt at Churchill Downs. That said, he finished a disappointing sixth at the Risen Star (Grade 2) on February 19 of this year.
Outlook: One of the pluses of betting on Pants On Fire is that he’s apparently as healthy as he’s been in his career. It’s clear from his win at the Louisiana Derby that he’s a good looking horse, but does he have what it takes to win this weekend against some of the favorites?
