Q&A: FanDuel TV's Christina Blacker on what bettors should expect at the 2023 Kentucky Derby
FTW caught up with horse racing analyst Christina Blacker to talk Kentucky Derby.
When the Supreme Court struck down the federal ban on sports betting in 2018, allowing states to legalize what was once a niche activity, fans suddenly had a new reason to watch sports they may have never considered watching before.
But while people could suddenly bet on almost any sporting event imaginable, the one that wasn’t available through popular sportsbook apps over the years was the Kentucky Derby, also known as the most exciting two minutes in sports.
No longer is that the case.
FanDuel has become the official sports wagering partner of the Kentucky Derby, allowing bettors to wager on every race at Churchill Downs this weekend in the same sportsbook app they use to bet on everything else.
Horse racing is about to gain a new audience.
FTW caught up with longtime horse racing reporter and FanDuel TV analyst Christina Blacker to learn more about horse race betting, the biggest storylines of this year’s Derby and what fans can expect from FanDuel.
The pick is in!
The Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, and FanDuel is the only Sportsbook app where you can bet it
