The draw for the post positions held Wednesday has made some big changes to the betting lines and Vegas odds for the 2011 Kentucky Derby. Rail position "winner" Archarcharch went from 10/1 odds on Tuesday to 3/1 today. Interesting move that probably reflects public sentiment and name awareness as much as anything.
The favorite for the 137th running of the Derby is now Dialed In who comes in today at even odds (1/1) after pulling 3/1 earlier in the week before Wednesday's post position draw. Dialed In was the winner of the Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park and is trained by Nick Zito.
