Steinbrenner Has Better Odds to Win Kentucky Derby Than World Series
Equestrian News Release
WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- With his New York Yankees continuing their early season swoon, George Steinbrenner now finds his $87,000 horse with better odds to win a prestigious sporting event than the team he'll pay over $200 million for this year. Although both remain favorites to capture their respective titles at PinnacleSports.com, Bellamy Road has emerged as a bigger favorite to win the 131st "Run for the Roses" than the Yankees' collection of All-Stars winning the franchise's 27th World Series title.
The Internet's largest sports betting site, PinnacleSports.com, now lists Wood Memorial winner Bellamy Road as the 5/2 favorite to win this weekend's Kentucky Derby. Meanwhile, the pre-season World Series favorite Yankees have fallen from odds of 2/1 on opening day to 4/1 to capture another championship. Further demonstrating how far the Yankees have fallen, the current 4/1 odds to win the World Series aren't a far stretch from the 9/1 odds PinnacleSports.com has on Bellamy Road becoming the first horse in 27 years to win the elusive Triple Crown.
"With the Yankees six games below .500 for the first time since July 1995, the team isn't playing like the most expensive collection of players in Major League history," said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. "Meanwhile the colt that he paid slightly more than Jason Giambi earns for a single game has become the serious title contender that he hoped his beloved Yankees would be this season. It just goes to prove that in sports you don't always get what you pay for."
Current Odds: *All Odds Subject to Change*
Bellamy Road to Win Kentucky Derby 5/2
New York Yankees to Win World Series 4/1
Bellamy Road to Win Triple Crown 9/1
