Here are the current (fixed) odds for the Classic:
1101 Lawyer Ron +385
1102 Street Sense +485
1103 Any Given Saturday +395
1104 Curlin +445
1105 George Washington +1015
1106 Awesome Gem +2550
1107 Diamond Stripes +4050
1108 Hard Spun +825
1109 Tiago +1415
"+385" means you are getting 3.85 to 1. I like those odds on LR. |
TheGreek's odds from Friday were pretty close to the final odds.
Here is each horse with TheGreek's odds followed by the closing betting odds (converted to moneyline format):
1101 Lawyer Ron +385 , +390
1102 Street Sense +485, +250
1103 Any Given Saturday +395, +390
1104 Curlin +445, +440
1105 George Washington +1015, +900
1106 Awesome Gem +2550, +2830
1107 Diamond Stripes +4050, +3880
1108 Hard Spun +825, +810
1109 Tiago +1415, +1280
The only big difference was on Street Sense, where TheGreek offered 4.85-1 compared to 2.5-1 in the pool. The only 2 horses to go off with higher odds in the pool than at TheGreek were Lawyer Ron (ever so slightly!) and Awesome Gem.
