Default 2008 Breeders Cup Classic Futures

Seriously...
They're now available at Wynn.
As ridiculous as it seems to place a future wager on a race nearly 9 months away, it's even moreso with the uncertainty of what the Santa Anita track will even be during the Oaktree meet.

For laughs, here are the odds. And yes, step right up to get 2-1 on Curlin right now.

AP Arrow 20-1
Air Commander 60-1
Awesome Gem 20-1
Blackberry Road 75-1
Brass Hat 35-1
Chelokee 25-1
Colonel John 50-1
Country Star 60-1
Court Vision 60-1
Curlin 2-1
Daaher 25-1
Diamond Stripes 30-1
Einstein 60-1
El Gato Malo 30-1
Etched 100-1
Fairbanks 40-1
Grasshopper 10-1
Great Hunter 75-1
Into Mischief 75-1
Kodiac Kowboy 100-1
Majestic Warrior 60-1
Monba 60-1
Pyro 50-1
Ravel 50-1
Slew's Tiznow 75-1
Student Council 40-1
Tale of Ekati 100-1
Tiago 12-1
War Pass 20-1
Z Humor 100-1
Zanjero 30-1

Those odds are embarassingly low. Hell, i got Ghostzapper in May of '04 @ 25-1. 10-1 on Grasshopper is almost as ridiculous as 2-1 on Curlin, I'd put it at 10-1 for him to even make it in the gate!

What about 12-1 on Tiago? Or 25-1 on Chelokee?

I started to quote you and take out all the ones that weren't outrageous but gave up, they're all outrageous.

Then again, I took 50-1 on Cowboy Cal in a Derby future, so maybe I'm not the best judge of a good bet these days.

Diamond Stripes at 30-1 after his off-the-board finish vs statebreds last Saturday is pretty sweet.

I guess if I had to take a low odds horse I would settle on 75-1 for Blackberry Road. He owes me.

I like how they give you an almost exclusive list of dirt horses. Those slick oddsmakers.

The only three or four turf horses in the race will probably end up running 1-2-3 and making up a giant trifecta.
