‘Horseracing has a tradition of odds-making and wagering,’ says Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of bodoglife.com. ‘With online racebooks like bodoglife.com, you don’t have to be at Churchill Downs to participate in the excitement.’

Online racebooks offer racing fans the opportunity to bet on contenders well in advance of the race, often at better odds than those they would receive on Derby Day.
