New Year’s Day Wins Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, Becomes Early Derby Favorite

The Bob Baffert trained New Year’s Day rallied up the rail to score the upset in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1), returning $23.00 for the win and became the early betting favorite for the 2014 Kentucky Derby (G1) at Churchill Downs.

The colt opened at 200-1 in betting odds released by Wynn Race & Sportsbook in Las Vegas last month, and his odds have now plummeted to 15-1.

The colt came into the Juvenile with just two starts under his belt, a third in his debut and then he broke his maiden in his second career start on Aug. 31 at Del Mar over polytrack.
