As the horse racing world nears the first of its annual trio of  beloved races, its backers are looking for ways to capitalize on the other big sports betting event to be held the same day.
That would be the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather welterweight championship fight in Las Vegas, and the 141st Kentucky Derby in Louisville, KY.
With both huge events taking place on May 2, sports fans and betting types are being treated to major pre-race/fight hype.
Among the efforts are those by AmericasBestRacing.net, which unveiled a separate multi-series video ad campaign last week to signal the first leg of the Triple Crown run by the world’s best thoroughbreds.
The latest video by AmericasBestRacing.net, which will be followed by four more over the next three weeks, has a Pacquiao actor look-alike (Mike Palma) training while his manager Freddie Roach (actor Steve Brady) peppers him with an inspirational speech with the names of the Derby contenders. Spliced video of each horse is dropped into the ad along the way.
