Anyway, here is what the poll is showing the odds will be:
Major Ryhthm 80-1
The Tin Man 9-2
Ace 6-1
Touch of Land 40-1
Soldier Hollow 16-1
Phoenix Reach 16-1
Cosmonaut 25-1
Better Talk Now 6-1
Go Deputy 40-1
Cacique 3-1
English Channel 5-2

It's probably not as good an indicator as it usually might be because the actual bettors will give more credit to the Europeans. If Touch of Land goes at 40-1, I'll be all over him.
