Nice sarcasm, Jim....But seriously, I was like you whe I first showed up at CD before Derby 2005 ad I was truly amazedat the different sciences in place...say what you will about the corporation ad I have some things I certainly don't like about them, but they do have some very sharp people in certain places with loads of experience with making money out of the Derby niche.....Remember, this race is a dynamic of its own...it is no other race with advanced wagering, 20 horses, etc.....they know through extensive research how that product is affected ad one predictio that was right on key was that Brother derek would be a lot higher odds than normally anticipated with his outside post....and that is at a very elementary level...

I think you'd be surprised....Remember, we're not talking about Magna or NYRA here, we're talking about a corporation in this industry that actualy knows how to make money and run a profitable business in this industry - which is a rarity with the defficient businesses in our game...
