Horse racing betting tips for Derby week

Only one horse will be named the winner of the 148th Kentucky Derby.

Tuesday was Champions Day at Churchill Downs. Chuck Fauble, a retired engineer and Marine Corps pilot, won $11,000 on 189. Fifth-grader Hadley Hardin uses a different technique to place her bets. She's putting her money on Margarita Time and any horse wearing red or blue. If she wins big, she'll save the prize money. More than $150 million is won by bettors wagering on the Kentucky Derby each year.
