Here are the odds several hours later... (the 2nd fig by each horse)
Chrome is -160, which is 5-8.
Horse , Odds
Dynamic Impact, 20, 18
General a Rod, 20, 27
Calif Chrome, 5-8, 5-8
Ring Weekend, 30, 37
Bayern, 13, 15
Ria Antonia, 22, 26
Kid Cruz, 15, 19
Social Inclusion, 6, 6.25
Pablo del Monte, 27.5, 25
Ride On Curlin, 20, 15
There are matchups, too. I thought this was surprising:
California Chrome -600
Ria Antonia +400
So you only get 4-1 if you bet Ria Antonia will finish in front of Chrome. And you only have to lay 6-1 to get Chrome ahead of Ria Antonia.
Here are some other head-to-head matchups:

I like Ride On Curlin over Bayern.
