Can betting on racing reflect a national economic comeback in the US? Well, maybe. The Daily Racing Form reports: 'Perhaps the most surprising thing about the 2012 Kentucky Derby was neither I'll Have Another's victory at 15-1, nor Bodemister's dazzling attempt to wire the field, but that betting on the race soared nearly 20 percent from a year ago.In 2011, commingled bets on the Derby, and the multirace bets ending with it, totaled $107.8 million, a tiny decline from the 2010 total of $108.9 million. This year, that number climbed 19.27 percent to $128.6 million.
