Kentucky Derby Winner Appeals to Online Gambling Patrons
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY --
Ask the average Internet casino player how he feels about horse racing and the Kentucky Derby, and the odds-on response would be something about the payout being too small. But Saturday's victory by Mine That Bird is one that warms the heart of every jackpot-seeking online slot fanatic out there.
The little horse that could came from behind virtually the entire nineteen-horse field to record one of the biggest payoffs on a win ticket in Derby history. For online gambling fans, lured by the chance to win many times their placed bet, Mine That Bird's fifty-one-to-one payday makes racing seem suddenly alluring.
John T. of Mississippi is a slot machine regular, and has hit a few jackpots in his time. He said, "Horse racing usually seems so frustrating, to win a battle against multiple opponents and then get paid even money or such. This Derby is why I find gambling fun, the chance to make a lot from a little."
Jockey Calvin Borel took the horse on the shortest route possible, waiting until the crowd had passed him and then gunning along the inside rail. Once Borel spurred his mount, the other horses looked like the mud beneath them had turned to quicksand.
Mine That Bird paid $103.20, second-highest in Derby history. Only Donerail in 1913 paid more, at $184.90.
