For major bombs, I've taken Premium Tap at 50-1 and Super Frolic at 80-1.
Super Frolic finished within 2.75 lengths of St. Liam last year after "stumbling badly" at the start. His last 3 races this year have been decent, though the last one (Goodwood) was the least impressive. He doesn't have much chance to win the Classic, but he's got better than a 1/81 chance, IMO.
He's also nominated to the Mile, but with 26K in lifetime earnings on grass, and his last turf race a 15-length loss in August of '04, I don't think there's much chance they are really going to run him in the Mile.
