Some interesting ones out there... I would have thought that Goldikova would have been shorter than 2-1, especially since Miday is 7-4.

The Mile is a lot more competitive than the FM Turf.

if Paco, Makfi et al go to Churchill, she could well be higher than 2-1!

Those are interesting, a mare (defending champ yes but still) and a 3YO that got creamed when he ran at CD (circumstances dictated that I know and I like him) co-favs in the Classic?

personally, I think Zenyatta is a MUCH better bet at 4-1 than Looking at Lucky at the same price.

Not sure, one thing I have learned is a trip (regardless of how bad) over the CD surface is valuable. LAL is as honest a runner as they come, if he doesn't get beat up he typically wins. 14 horse field and some experience gives him a better shot than last year. That and he truly is a better horse on dirt.

I agree. I'd also take Blame at 6-1 and Afleet Express at 12-1 before I took Lookin at Lucky at 4-1.

Can't open the links here … but it's unbelievable to me that Blame isn't the BCC fav at this point.

If Rachel has a dominating next start and if Quality Road runs one of those huge beyers AND if they both decide to go in the Classic this fall, the oddsboard will be an attractive one for any horse that can be deemed a contender. Obviously if you want to bet this race, you would have to want to root for QR and Rach in their next races.

Blame at 6-1 right now is just silly. Im not saying I like him, but how the hell is he not the favorite right now?

.........yeah, looking at lucky could not beat zenyatta at any distance on any surface. blame at 6-1 would be sweet.

Thanks for posting...

If Zenyatta runs, I have to imagine she'll be a shorter price than 4-1 at post time.

slotdirt · #13 08-31-2010, 03:12 PM

So if the field is something like Quality Road, Blame, Zenyatta, Lookin at Lucky, Afleet Express, and five or six other fillers, who do you like? Despite the most recent effort, I'm not opposed to Quality Road in that crew.

QR,Z. QR will bounce back Saturday and then Todd will have 2 months to have him ready to fire 1 HUGE SHOT. We will see. If they all make it, Blame will be higher then 5-2. I think Afleet Express can step up and compete in the JCGC

Didn't he have that before the Whitney?

I know.... He is facing much softer and Blame just beat him on the square. Who can compete this time? Does GOAT 1 jump up and win this race?

Thunder Gulch · #17 08-31-2010, 03:26 PM

I can't believe Blame's odds either. I would be all over that at 6-1 compared to the other shorter prices.

Quality Road may be better suited for the dirt mile, but I'd take some of that as well if he went at that price.

I can't agree more. QR and the dirt mile would be a great fit. Where do you think the Candy's will run (Sidney and Twirling?)

Still gotta like Zenyatta here until she loses. I'd take both Blame and Lucky over QR. Just don't think the 10f is QR's best distance.

I think the turf races are going to be great!!
