KENTUCKY DERBY & TRIPLE CROWN ODDS FROM PINNACLESPORTS.COM Race & Sports Book Posts Odds On 2006 Triple Crown Winner & 132nd Run For the Roses

WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (May 1, 2006)—With the 132nd Kentucky Derby taking place this Saturday at Churchill Downs, leading Internet race and sports book PinnacleSports.com has released odds on “The Run for the Roses” as well as odds on any horse completing the elusive Triple Crown. Now that early Derby favorites First Samurai and Stevie Wonderboy have withdrawn from the race, PinnacleSports.com has calculated odds on 21 potential entries for the first leg of the Triple Crown.

With speed again playing a key role in the race, PinnacleSports.com currently lists Arkansas Derby winner Lawyer Ron as a slight favorite at Churchill Downs paying $3.40 for every $1 bet (+340) over Santa Anita Derby champ Brother Derek, listed at +395. PinnacleSports.com also lists Sweetnorthernsaint, winner of the Illinois Derby, with the third best odds at +612 followed by Florida Derby champion Barbaro at +661.

Three-time Derby-winning trainer Bob Baffert, again appears to have solid Kentucky contenders in Point Determined (+1060), Blue Grass champ Sinister Minister (+1117) and Wood Memorial winner Bob and John (+1234). Other horses that should compete for the first leg of the Triple Crown include:
A.P. Warrior (+1774), Steppenwolfer (+2288), Jazil (+2563), Sharp Humor
(+2874) and Sunriver (+3174). Those bettors looking to strike it rich with this year’s Giacomo, can wager on long shot Seaside Retreat that currently pays $100 for every $1 bet.

In addition to offering odds to win the Kentucky Derby, PinnacleSports.com is offering betting on any horse winning the Triple Crown for the first time in 28 years. Although horses have come close in recent years, the odds are heavily against any horse completing the elusive Triple Crown in
2006 at 1/9. Meanwhile, the odds that a horse will capture the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes this year are a 7/1 long shot.
Bettors can also wager on PinnacleSports.com’s unique race match-ups between contending horses at this year’s Derby along with a wide variety of exclusive horse props.
