Will there be a Triple Crown winner in 2010
2001 Yes +465
2002 No -685


It wasn't too many years ago that 30-1 was available on the "Yes". Those high YES odds were huge sportsbook blunders, since unless the Derby winner broke down immediately after the race, it was always going to be possible to buy back the "NO" after the Derby for a substantial hedged profit.
