First run in 1911 at the Kentucky Association Track, the Blue Grass Stakes, named for the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, has served as an important Kentucky Derby prep race since establishment. The race is worth 170 points (100-40-20-10) and is a make-or-break race for quite a few horses to even get at shot at the first jewel of the Triple Crown.

Use the Morning Line to Your Advantage

Of all the modern-day anachronisms one can find at the race track, the morning-line odds deserve a place near the top of the list. The morning-line odds are the odds printed in the program or in the newspaper alongside the entries in the race. They are set by a track employee, usually a handicapper but not always, and are supposed to represent how that individual believes the betting will ultimately shake out for the race at post time.
