2021 Oaks-Derby Double: Picks from horse racing handicapper who has nailed 9 of last 12

Before making your 2021 Derby-Oaks double picks, you ABSOLUTELY need to see what Jody Demling has to say. SportsLine's horse racing insider has hit the Oaks-Derby double at Churchill Downs nine of the last 12 years! That means he held a ticket with the winners of both the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby all but three times in his last 12 tries.

The 2021 Kentucky Oaks takes place on Friday, April 30 at Churchill Downs, followed by the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 1. Essential Quality is listed as the 2-1 favorite for the annual Run for the Roses. The Todd Pletcher-trained Malathaat is the 5-2 favorite for the Oaks, which features the nation's top three-year old fillies. 

A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling enters the 2021 Kentucky Derby after a major heater in 2020: At one point last year, he picked the winners of six straight races: the Saudi Cup, Gotham Stakes, Rebel Stakes, Louisiana Derby, Florida Derby and Belmont Stakes. Anyone who has followed him is WAY UP.

Now he's locked in his picks for the 2021 Derby-Oaks Double. We can tell you he has limited exposure to Known Agenda, even though he's one of the favorites. In fact, the 6-1 shot in the Kentucky Derby shows up on just one of Demling's tickets this year.

Instead, Demling is high on several other horses in his Derby-Oaks doubles bets, including several double-digit long shots he's putting on multiple tickets. You ABSOLUTELY need to see which horses to back before locking in your bets.
