When it comes to the Derby, I’m always on the lookout for Hall of Fame trainers at big odds. Extra bonus if they haven’t had a Derby winner yet. Steve Assmussen fits the bill. He has two entered in today’s Derby. This is how I played it:
Nice to finally hit on the Kentucky derby. I deposited small on Fanduel racing today to take advantage of their no sweat win bet and put it on Sovereignty. Hit an exacta box and $1 exacta for good measure too. I'll take it because so often in the Kentucky derby the favorite or even the second choice don't win.
