The current Breeders’ Cup 2011 Favorites have pretty much remain unscathed since the day the Breeders’ Cup Betting Odds were announced.

The countdown to the 2011 Breeders’ Cup is officially underway! We are now just hours away from the premier race of the year in the United States.

After being announced that he would have post No.12, Uncle Mo continues to be the frontrunner in the Breeders’ Cup Picks 2011 list for Saturday’s race at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Uncle Mo, who won this race as a three-year-old Juvenile, has been the betting favorite to win the 1¼-mile race all along.

With Uncle Mo getting all the attention in most people’s in Breeders’ Cup Predictions 2011, there are a couple of frontrunners ready to shock the world. One of those “dark horses” (no pun-intended) is Game On Dude, who many observers believe to be the most qualified horse to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic this upcoming Saturday, Nov. 12 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

Just days away from the much anticipated 2011 Breeders’ Cup Classic, one horse continues to dominate the overall Odds to Win the 28th edition of thoroughbred racing's season ending premier event.

As expected, the results of the 2011 Kentucky Derby were as surprising as they have ever been, with a record number of horses closing the betting lines in double digit odds. It seemed to be a sentimental field with a lot of action on the heart-warming story of trainer Kathy Ritvo, which drove Mucho Macho Man's odds down to 9-1 by start time.

The Kentucky Derby odds in 2011 are as bunched up as possible and in a head to head matchup between two longshots, Decisive Moment and Stay Thirsty will battle it out to see which of the two can post a better finish in the 137th Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs. Both of these contestants are carrying similar horse racing odds coming into the Derby.

Of all the possible 2011 Kentucky Derby predictions available, the heads-up horse pairings pin together Brilliant Speed vs Derby Kitten. Both of these horses are 30-1 betting odds long shots in the 137th annual running at Churchill Downs, but when pinned together, they are each even with their Kentucky derby odds at -115.

In a 2011 Kentucky Derby picks math-up between serious contenders, Ar Char Charch vs Soldat is one of the more intriguing Kentucky Derby prop bet available. Both of these hoses come to the scene with some hype and they are both near the top of the horse racing odds board to be the outright winner of this race. Ar Char Charch is listed as a 10-1 favorite at Bodog.com, while Soldat is right behind him at 12-1.

If there are two Kentucky Derby favorites who have consistently shown that they deserve to be here, it is Nehro and Master of Hounds. Nehro has come from behind to finish second in his two previous prep races, while Master of Hounds came from across the pond after winning a very long race in Dubai. Nehro is going off at 6-1 odds to win the 2011 Kentucky Derby, and is starting wide at the 19th post.

The 2011 Kentucky Derby odds for the heads-up pairing of Shackleford vs Mucho Macho Man are quite interesting considering that they are both in the middle of the pack to be the outright winners of this race. Shackleford and Mucho Macho Man are both listed as +12-1 favorites to win the 2011 Kentucky Derby, but Mucho Macho Man is a slight -125 favorite to finish ahead of Shackleford whose odds are at -105, a little closer to even money.

Some online sportsbooks are pinning two horses together and against each other as a way of offering some horse racing props and in this one, Nehro vs Dialed In is one of the big ones as they are both 2011 Kentucky Derby favorites. Both of these horses have impressed bettors leading all the way up to Run for the Roses and when compared together, Dialed In is a -145 favorite to finish ahead of Nehro, who is listed at +115 in this matchup.

There is a horse that has twice the appeal in terms of Kentucky Derby 2011 picks and that is all due to Calvin Borel, who decided to jump on his chances with one of the only horses left without the services of an experienced rider. In the head-to-head matchups at Bodog.com, Twice the Appeal and Comma to the Top have been paired up in battle between two jockeys on opposite sides of the sport right now.

A lot of this year's horse racing picks will rely on the 2011 Triple Crown odds and after the Kentucky Derby, only the winner will be in the discussion to accomplish the elusive feat. Ar Char Charch is a 10-1 favorite to win the Kentucky Derby, and with such strong betting odds in the first leg, he is a legitimate pick to make a charge towards the finish line in all three legs this year.

The field was cut down by one horse as 19 will now enter the starting gate in front of 150,000+ spectators at Churchill Downs for the 2011 Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 7th, at 6:24pm ET on NBC. Derby Kitten (30-1), who got in after Toby's Corner was withdrawn due to injury, comes into Churchill Downs off a victory over the Polytrack surface just like Brilliant Speed and Animal Kingdom. The Lexington Stakes winner will try conventional dirt for the second time after he was beaten by close to 30 lengths last October.

With the post positions set for this year's 'Run for the Roses', there are currently a few Kentucky Derby 2011 favorites in particular to keep an eye on before placing your Kentucky Derby predictions.

Dialed In has held on tightly as the favorite in the Kentucky Derby 2011 odds leader-board and with good reason. A lot of the other trainers are calling this the fastest horse in the field and even if he is not your 2011 Kentucky Derby winner, he will certainly be a part of a lot of winning exacta, trifecta and superfecta predictions.
