2019 Kentucky Derby Ante Post Update PT 3

The aforementioned Instagrand is still very much in the mix according to the ante post markets with the bookmakers placing him as the clear third favourite here amongst a stand out group of promising contenders with his trainer Jerry Hollondorfer likely to take his time with him as he has been off the track since a month prior to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.

Instagrand produced some really memorable moments at Del Mar during their summer meet and has shown plenty of ability over that track but it’s going to be interesting to see how he fares once he winds up shipping east to tackle more intense races, should that be the course of action chosen by his very accomplished trainer.

There is no set date for his return to the races but they have been firm that they plan to pursue a run for the Kentucky Derby during the 2019 year.

Improbable has showcased himself as a very talented runner and he trades just behind Instagrand in regards to the ante post market and should certainly emerge as one of the leading contenders going forward. Vekoma is another big entry here and he looks like a very solid each-way bet if you’re looking for a contender that should have the stamina and durability to make it all the way to the Run for the Roses on the first Saturday in May.

Mucho Gusto is another big name to emerge over the last couple of weeks and he’s been showcasing some really good ability. The talented son of Macho Uno has a lot of people beginning to  take notice of him and he trades at an enticing price now in the markets.
