2012 Kentucky Derby future book odds

[tector]

So, here I am on my last day in Vegas thinking I might take stab on some KD futures. The last time I did, 2009, I had Eskenderya at 100-1, along with a couple of other horses.

I took a small piece of Take Charge Indy ($30) about an hour before the Juvenile just in case. Now I am open to suggestions since I am truly flustered this year.

Here were the odds at the Wynn (where I am staying--actually the Encore) as of October 25:

Take Spring to the Sky at 300-1. . . I don't know anything about his current state, but if he's healthy, he'll make some serious noise on the Derby trail. I also like Launch Commander a lot at 275-1.

Right now, they are considering the Spectacular Bid at Gulfstream in December.

If Motor City is 225-1 I'd have to take a bit of that.

I am sure he is not--the Iriquois was after the 25th.

No idea here.

Creative Cause might be worth a gamble if he gets sold and a move-up artist trainer takes over. His current trainer has very shabby numbers.

I haven't looked at the odds yet to see his price, though.

Only 18/1. Second choice after Union Rags.

Liaison at 75/1 is worth a few bucks.

I know I'm predisposed to liking progeny of his sire, but he strikes me as a horse that really will want to go 10f and has the style that often wins the Derby.

Not being sold either because he has already said that Creative Cause is a replacement stallion for Swiss Yolder

Id take a flyer on Optimizer at 175/1. Wasnt great but wasnt horrible. Hopefully D Wayne will put him on the trail, win a race as a 3 yr old, then run avg races in the Derby preps. THEN BOOM another D wayne bomb in a big race.

That's crazy talk.

Haha. Wow. I'd give you 175,000-1.

His dirt races have been decidedly better than his synthetic races, he's in the hands of a trainer who never has success with 2YOs, he is a winner over the track and we're talking about 125-1 not 10-1.
