Medina Spirit Vs. Midnight Bourbon Odds
Medina Spirit Vs. Midnight Bourbon
- Medina Spirit -215
- Concert Tour +170
Sticking with Medina Spirit, he also has head-to-head matchup odds against Midnight Bourbon, who also raced in the Kentucky Derby. Medina Spirit is favored here for a reason considering his accomplishments as mentioned before.
Also backing up those odds is the fact that Midnight Bourbon has only won two races out of the eight total that he has been in. Not to mention of those eight races, only two of them have seen a second-place finish as well. He also came in an unimpressive sixth place at the Kentucky Derby.
Risk Taking Vs. Unbridled Honor Odds
Risk Taking Vs. Unbridled Honor
- Risk Taking -150
- Unbridled Honor +120
Looking at this head-to-head matchup, Risk Taking is the slight favorite here to take down Unbridled Honor, and rightfully so. Risk Taking has won one of two races in 2021 which is a bit of an advantage over Unbridled Honor who has won just one of three races on the year.
Something else to note about this matchup as well is that Risk Taking’s odds to win the race as a whole are at +1000 which are right in the middle of the odds board while Unbridled Honor is down towards the bottom at +2000. That alone could give bettors a good indication to sway towards the favorite on this one.
