Kentucky Derby Wagering Soars: Betting Volume Surges by 500%

Betting on the Kentucky Derby once again broke multiple records.  This incudes almost a 500% growth in wagering from 1953 to 2023, with handle rising from $49 million to $288.7 million in today’s dollars over that time period. Wagering on the 150th Run for the Roses, won by Mystik Dan at 18-1 odds in 2:03.34, eclipsed the $200-million mark for the first time in the race’s history. According to Churchill Downs, Derby 150 brought in $210.7 in bets, topping last year’s record total of $188.7 million in wagers from all sources.

All-sources wagering on Saturday’s 14 races at Churchill Downs reached $320.5 million while wagering for Kentucky Derby Week races totaled $446.6 million, per Churchill Downs.
