The Wood, Florida Derby are the 2 high profile ones. The Arkansas Derby has increased in stock because the Blue Grass and SA Derby are now run on the crap. But I agree, this year's Wood stunk, save for a huge effort by War Pass just to last as long as he did. If Tale of Ekati was anything other than a turtle, he would have collared him at the top of the stretch.
As far as the big spenders go, they bet the high profile trainers like Zito, Baffert and Lukas, and we are only down to Zito for this year. Cool Coal Man equals a terrible underlay imo.
If I find out who Ben Affleck likes, I will let you know. His bet will move a horse's odds probably 5-7 points.
