Of the 5 horses in Pool 1 that ran in last year's Derby:

POTN was 6-1 in the Derby, but 13-1 in Pool 1
Papa Clem was 12-1 in the Derby, but 44-1 in Pool 1
Choc Candy was 10-1 in the Derby, but 28-1 in Pool 1
W. Side Bernie was 32-1 in the Derby, but 42-1 in Pool 1
Friesen Fire was 7-2 in the Derby, but 18-1 in Pool 1

but how many of them were 'all others'? you'd be better off betting a horse derby day than in having an all others ticket on them right now.
