Pregame Gets Players Ready for the Kentucky Derby

Las Vegas, NEV. May 2, 2006: Pregame.com, where players get ready to play with confidence, is gearing up to offer players the best packages for betting the Kentucky Derby, the first race of the prestigious Triple Crown of professional horse racing.

In 2006, Kentucky Derby fans have wagered a total almost $1.5 million in futures betting before the race has begun. The overall total was the third highest in the eight year history of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager. Of the Downs’ 3 futures pools, the Pool 3 total also ranked as the third-best in that individual pool since the wager was introduced in 1999.

"The Kentucky Derby is an exciting race" says RJ Bell, president of Pregame. "Over $1.5 million was spent on betting the Derby last year at the Churchill Downs track alone, and it looks like even more players are willing to get in on the action"

For the Triple Crown, Pregame will be offering pick packages from professional handicapper Rob Crowne. Players can buy packages for just the Kentucky Derby, or a Premium Pony Pick package for all three of the Triple Crown races—giving players plenty of chances to play with confidence.

Says Jocelyn Saurini, Director of Marketing Communications, "Horse racing is the type of betting that is immediate and fun. There are so many different types of bets a player can make. Pregame always has the info worth betting, no matter the sport"
