This is nuts

With 4 minutes to post in the ARK Derby....Going Ballistic is 42/1...and that 7K yearling maiden 1st time starter is 41/1.

That's almost as ridiculous as Fee Fi Fo Fum being 3-1.

The Indomitable DrugS · #3 04-14-2007, 07:03 PM

Or Boca Grande being 5/2

It's nuts that anyone has bet on the firster at all. His odds should be 'infinity to 1', that is 0 divided by the pool.

My guess is the absolute best thing this horse has going for it is that it's a firster. If it had three races it might be 250-1.

For a minute there I thought it was going to be Lukas Strikes Back.

Deadly Dealer crushed FFC at least twice. It might have cost him a placing. Curlin sure looked good. He won like a future book favorite should but geez, he'll be running the Derby in his 4th start.

he could just be that much better that the " lack of seasoning " won't matter

Curlin's has raced against weaker but he's won like a good horse should. He's had 3 races this year so he meets that criteria. His figs match up with the best of his class. But is it too much too soon? A lot of rules have been broken in the past few years. We've had a ny bred win who was a gelding. Last years winner raced off a 5 week layoff and if the grass race he won on New Years Day was one day prior it would have ruined the must have 3 races rule. The no races at 2 is the last sacred cow.

It should be an interesting Derby and I look forward to handicapping it in 2 3/4 weeks.
