The 135th Kentucky Derby is set for May 2nd and fans have already caught the fever. The field is set and looks to offer the usual showdown at Churchill Downs amidst the usual pomp and circumstance as well. Fans have already begun looking for an edge as the largest most successful sportsbook on the web, BetUS.com has seen a ton of interest in the odds its experts posted regarding the Derby and Triple Crown.

What will you be doing in the early evening on June 7th? I hope its watching the Belmont Stakes so that you can witness the first Triple Crown winner in 30 years. If you watched Big Brown in the Preakness, and granted it was a weak field, you saw a horse that not only won going away with an extra gear to pull away from the pack, but by all accounts, a "freak", a "monster", that will certainly be the odds on favorite to be the newest Triple Crown winner. The first since Affirmed in 1978 which followed Triple Crown winners Seattle Slew in '77 and Secretariat in '73, so it was almost ho-hum back in the 70s. But we know now how difficult a challenge it truly is after watching nine other winners of the first two legs of the Triple Crown lose the Belmont since then. Great horses like Spectacular Bid, Pleasant Colony, Alyesheba, Sunday Silence, Silver Charm, Real Quiet, Charismatic, Funny Cide and Smarty Jones in '04. But were any of these Derby-Preakness winners called a freak or a monster as has Big Brown? Is it too much praise, too soon? As a sports fan, I know I'll be watching because Big Brown is an awesome athlete that is worthy of the praise in my book. I relish the opportunity to witness history and the fun that it will be picking the winning exacta and trifecta. After all, winning is fun!

Bet on the second-leg of the Triple Crown and Sportsbook.com will top up your account with a 10% Reload Bonus* on all your deposits for this weekend. Use your bonus money to bet on the race, or on your favorite sports.

Among the oldest spectator sports in the U.S., thoroughbred horse racing originated with the British who introduced the sport to Colonial America a century prior to the Revolutionary War. Proving hugely popular with the colonists, horse racing has remained so, that is until recent years. While still attracting a considerable number of fans, there has been a noticeable and continuing decline in live track attendance.. This can be directly attributed to competition from other forms of gambling, and most certainly due to the convenience of betting at off-track facilities and more emphatically via the internet.

Horse racing is one of the most popular gambling pursuits of all time. The "Sport of Kings" is followed passionately by people from all over the world, wagering fortunes on their individual horse racing system.

In order to be successful with any horse racing system there are a number of critical factors which should be studied in order to give your horse racing system or betting system a higher percentage chance of success.
