Gulfstream Park, Oaklawn Park, Remington Park, and Tampa Bay Downs will be the focus with Tampa Bay Downs offering additional action on Sunday. The biggest races of the weekend will take place at Oaklawn Park. Not one but two Grade 1 $500,000 Arkansas Derby races will be run. Additionally, the Grade 2 $650,000 Oaklawn Handicap is on deck too!
Horse racing offers a wide array of wagering options that include betting on multiple horses and multiple races on the same individual wager. It is a sport where you can win a considerable amount of money for just one small wager. That has led to a tremendous popularity spike.
We’ll have Horse Racing Odds at Bookmaker.eu available for every track on the board this weekend!
Let’s now take a look at the highlights of this weekend’s schedule from tracks across North America!
Oaklawn Park – Hot Springs, Arkansas – Saturday
There will be 11 races on Saturday at Oaklawn Park. Races 10, 11, and 12 are three of the biggest of the entire year.
Race 11 is the $500,000 Grade 1 Arkansas Derby. Post time is set for 5:29 p.m. ET for a race that will be one and one-eighth miles in length. The race is for three-year-old horses.
Bob Baffert trained Charlatan is the even money favorite with the number one post position. Any time Baffert enters a race there is going to be a full retail markup on the price. It also doesn’t hurt that Charlatan has won both of his previous starts.
Gouverneur Morris is another popular choice at 9/2. Trainer Todd Pletcher is another top draw popular trainer. Gouverneur Morris is coming off a disappointing fourth place finish at the Grade 1 Curlin Florida Derby on March 28, 2020.
Anneau d’Or is a 6/1 choice. He will try to atone for a ninth-place finish in the Grade 2 Risen Star.

Combatant is the early chalk at 4/1 with jockey Joel Rosario aboard. Rosario has already compiled a total of over $4.3 million in earnings this year. Combatant is coming off a win at the Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap on March 7, 2020.
Race 13 is the $500,000 Arkansas Derby with a post time scheduled for 6:43 p.m. ET and a race length of one and one-eighth miles. This race is for three-year-old horses.
The opening favorite is King Guillermo at 3/1. Last time out for King Guillermo was a win at the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby on March 7, 2020.
